What is a system administrator?
A system administrator is an information technology professional who supports a multiuser computing environment and ensures continuous, optimal performance of IT services and support systems.
Sysadmins are responsible for ensuring the uptime of their companies’ computers, servers and internet -- basically "keeping the lights on" to limit work disruptions. This includes system maintenance and configuration, such as installing and troubleshooting hardware and software and assessing new technologies for their companies.
