Come study classical administration: regulations, tools, scripts Southbridge

For 10 years, Southbridge has created a work standard that allows one administrator to support 150 servers, quickly carry out initial configuration, easily transfer a project between administrators and groups, see what the night duty did, quickly get up to speed after the holidays, and, of course, provide customer reliability and security infrastructure.

From October 22 to 24 Southbridge conducts intensively for system administrators, where he will show his approaches, regulations, tools, instructions and scripts.

RedSlerm is essentially a collection of materials for training a new Southbridge employee.

Mastering an approach to administration based on unification and standardization is useful even for a novice administrator.

All that we can, we practice in practice.

RedSlerm (October 22 - 24) is a cure for red eyes for those who want to support dozens and hundreds of servers and sleep well at night.
