Chris emailed me this an agent had phoned him asking if he was interested and thought it might be relevant to the postings I’ve been making over the last week of how as a result of the infrastructure getting more complicated, more layered, the requirements of the team are increasing. As an example, the role below is for a permanent Windows server person:

Required Skills:

• MS Server 2000/2003 in a multi domain forest (Management and Maintenance)
• Naming and Directory Services – Active Directory, Group Policy, DCHP, DNS, WINS
• MS Exchange Server 2003 (Design, Management and Maintenance)
• Enterprise Level Backups (Design, Management and Maintenance)
• High availability, clustered server environments (Management and Maintenance)
• Linux & Unix (Preferably RedHat) (Management and Maintenance)
• Fundamental understanding of network, TCP/IP, Subnets etc.
• Virtualisation (VMWARE ESX 3+)
• HP Server Hardware
• DFS & FSR
• HP Management Tools (HP SIM, ILO etc)
• Blackberry
• OS Deployment using imaging or RIS
• Citrix Presentation Server 4 +/XenApp administration.
• VOIP Administration (Preferably Avaya)

Desired Skills:

• Exchange 2007
• SQL Server Administration
• SAN Administration
• Scripting (Preferably Perl)
• RIS
• Software Deployment
• Software Packaging Tools
• Cisco Router and Switch configuration.
• Citrix Presentation Server 4 +/XenApp (Design, Management and Maintenance)
• VOIP management (Preferably Avaya)

Is this not a role that’s moving towards next generation infrastructure support? Remember in any given enterprise, one team would be responsible for maintenance of a technology, another the design, backups might be run by an individual team, Linux/Unix or VMware might have their own operational team or even business line. Do our expectations/requirements need to change or the way we use technology within our business?
