[Guide] network administrators are currently engaged in network construction and network operations. network management includes the most important part in network security technology construction, in fact, many people think that network administrators will be network administrators in the future and that it is not right to position them in such an angle. network administrators will actually construct information within a unit, and network investment will determine how the entire company's network is built, he has a great say in how to build operations, especially after positioning himself, he should be a very important role in the company, so sometimes it is said that the network administrator should go to the front-end, it is not a field engineer in the background, or a field engineer in the background.

From the perspective of human resources work, the general career planning of network management, from the perspective of network management, when entering this industry, it is mainly a pure technical personnel, however, there should be two ways to choose from career development planning. One path is constantly becoming more professional and expert in this field. Network management can also be subdivided into many fields. Some large website network management systems are subdivided into specialized network management, specialized network security, and specialized database management, which may also become experts in a certain field. Another way is to become a network manager and gradually move to a management position. For example, you can become a network-related project management, a manager of the network management department, a CTO of a large enterprise, or a CIO. There are two ways to develop a network management system: one is expert-oriented and the other can be managed. Of course, the third type is that you can start your own business as the boss of an enterprise.

In the whole informatization construction process, non-IT organizations in all walks of life actually assume a very important responsibility and a very important mission in the whole informatization construction, their role is directly related to the informatization construction of enterprises or even the success or failure of enterprises. Regardless of the System Selection to system construction, such a group is playing an increasingly important role. On the contrary, this group is highly concerned, for a long time, it has been relatively neglected. Some organizations may think that they are not the first line of business. Although they play a very important and specific role, they have not aroused widespread concern in the society.

What is the problem with network administrators?

It may be because of industry characteristics that most people may have a misunderstanding when recruiting network administrators, because he believes that most of network administrators work in support of an enterprise office, so he hopes to be a young man, many companies like to recruit young people by recruiting network administrators. However, in terms of technology, enterprises and companies are more mature in terms of company management, when recruiting network administrators, you can consider this issue from a more comprehensive perspective or from a company's perspective.

Network administrators must be technical experts. Some people define network administrators as technical blue-collar workers. In a sense, they must understand some technologies and reduce the nature of their work. In fact, this is not the case. The network manager must understand the technology. If you do not understand the technology well, it is unlikely that you maintain the network operation well, it is more appropriate to be positioned as a technical expert. Network administrators have a lot of transactional and maintenance work, but they cannot be understood as miscellaneous. Instead, they must be understood as the company's important infrastructure, the company's most important data assets and network service facilities, this service and guarantee are all in my hands. You have to take these two items right and do a good job. Your position in the company has naturally increased, you need to understand it as a key technology. It is a complex technique, and it is difficult for you to do a good job.

For example, when the network is disconnected, some people call out how the network is disconnected. Are you responsible for this? I think you should pay attention to several work aspects to solve this problem, first of all, do not identify it as a technical service without a management function. So you should first establish the company's system with the boss. What are the rules for use? What should I do with files? How should I use the network? violation of this rule the network will be disconnected and a virus will occur. We have conducted such an experiment in some units. What measures do you take to prescribe? Some software has been deployed to notify anyone in the organization that if they browsed an inappropriate website or did not pay attention to security measures, the virus will be detected and the website will be disconnected, I may want to watch my website for viruses. At this time, I don't want to drop them any more. Instead, I want to help you to check that the machine may be infected with viruses, and his status will soon improve, so in the future, the network will not be able to help him, so this problem will be quickly solved.

How to promote or upgrade the network management service?

There is a story about the pursuit of happiness by a lion. when it asks his mother what is happiness, he says that my tail is happiness and he cannot catch up with his tail, later, her mother said you would move forward, and her tail would follow you. What do you mean by telling this story? Pursuing happiness or career development will ultimately improve yourself. After you find your own direction, you can work hard in that direction. Don't feel that a company has a low position, or what about your own capabilities? In the final analysis, you should have your own career plans, constantly add your own knowledge, enrich yourself, and seize the opportunity.

This issue is still representative in the network manager group, and not only may this group have such a common problem for many young people. Under such circumstances, I think everyone should first improve their abilities, and never look at the heights of the mountains. When you think you want to change jobs or take any direction, be sure to have your own plan, and be sure to study, train, and improve. In this way, it is possible to seize new opportunities on the new platform. Now it is a learning society, and you must enrich yourself and improve yourself, you can have more opportunities. If you drill into a dead end, you may never find an effective method.

As a technician, you must take technology as your long-term goal.

One foot is required to step on the ground and take what as a foothold. You should take your own technical capital to compare with others. Your long term is that you are better at network operation technology than others, the other most important issue in this process is that you must do your daily work well. you master the technology to achieve success and do things well for some purpose, it is not difficult to master the technology to grasp the technology and do not do the actual work well. In the whole process, when it comes to what to play, the network manager has to use technology to do the real work well with his own technical foundation as much as possible, and gain the recognition of people around him and the company, and gradually find the feeling of career, which is the first issue to be paid attention to in career planning. Second, I need to pay attention to the problem. Now, many people say that I am in charge of some computers in the Organization. What is the future? This is not the case. The company's network is connected not only by several computers, but also by connecting all employees and the company's communication infrastructure, in the future, important data assets of the company will be on this infrastructure. In this sense, he is the best manager in this company. You can ensure the smooth flow of the network and the company's business is running, this becomes the most important infrastructure of the company, and its position in the company has also been greatly improved. In real life, some leaders decide what network to build and decide on their own. If it is not an ideal network, they will throw it to you, and there may be problems, at this time, you should take care of this first, and then let the leaders realize that there are some problems. The leaders feel that this problem is not suitable for you to gradually delegate permissions to you. If you plan your investment in the company on any day, what is the application business? After the building, you can maintain it. This person's future in the company will certainly be good. This is a great expectation for the network manager.

First, the preferred job to learn technology is technology, which is closely related to your studies. In fact, everyone needs to know what they are good at and what they are not good? If you go on the technical road, you will not be able to do anything in a shocking way. There are many opportunities in society, and opportunities always favor prepared people. Since you feel that you want to change your mind, you should study and prepare in this process, because you have a technical background and some preparation for study and training, you have a chance to try jobs in different fields. In this way, you will find that you can try several more roles and find out which one is best. In general, the Network Manager will go through such a process. The first stage is more specific. It is true that you are the computer of the management unit, and so on, but it is also a very good field of opportunity, many organizations, especially in some traditional enterprises, have few technical personnel who know little about the technology. Now many units need informatization construction. At this time, network administrators are facing a space for improvement, can we take into account the architecture of the machine to the system, and finally form a CTO for a unit? These paths are very likely. At this time, we should first make a career plan and identify what we are suitable? If you are suitable for technology, you must develop in the direction of technology. If not, you must prepare for it. In another direction, we must constantly strive to do the best, so that we can have new technologies.

Is there any relevant training institution for Network Manager charging?

Many network administrators have a lot of training courses, including training from foreign companies and the national software qualification examination. There are still many certificates. You can make some choices to see how they are conducive to your own development.

What are the best suggestions for network administrators with low educational backgrounds?

If you have a low degree of education and are older, it is difficult for job seekers to overcome, but this is not the most critical issue. Your low degree of education and your age are not factors that affect you, your technical skills are critical. In fact, in China, there is no major specialized in cultivating network administrators and there is no such school. Most people who work as network administrators are certified by Microsoft or Cisco later, after years of work, you have become an expert in a certain field. Therefore, your education or age is not the most important. The most important thing is whether you have worked hard on your professional skills.

Is the survival status of network administrators very bad?

This situation may not be generalized. The current situation is that we are positioning ourselves as a company network. In this case, we cannot find out what we feel, some network administrators in some organizations are not so high-profile at the beginning, but in actual work, they all form a kind of dependency. If they maintain their own computers, they will not be able to achieve smooth network access, so in the end, he became a very important person in the company. There are some situations in both cases. Is the situation worse? My personal opinion is not bad. Now I have to have a chance. What is the concept of an opportunity? China's network construction has been going through more than a decade, most CEOs have realized that a company does not have any network infrastructure, but it does not have any computers. Second, some organization leaders buy things on the board, and they don't know what to do. If they lose money, many organizations are aware of people who can understand things. Therefore, the importance of the Organization's online manager for purchasing things is increasing, network management should improve its capabilities and make the company feel unable to do without it. If we seize this opportunity, we should not cut off the network, avoid old viruses, or solve important problems of the company, at a certain meeting of the company's position, CIOs, CSO, and network administrators are not ruled out as one. They are both an important concept of office, therefore, network administrators are more advanced than many other technologies.

More importantly, the salary for a job is determined by the value created for the company. If you only position yourself as a simple logistics support staff, your salary is naturally very low, however, if you are a network administrator, you have service and management functions. If you have a set of management ideas, then you can provide technical support for the entire Office or network management to form an institutional process to standardize it and form an effective way. If you manage it, your value will naturally increase. The IT industry is developing in the sunrise industry. Enterprises are aware of the importance of it, and the value of this industry is constantly increasing. In the final analysis, it is the value you create for the enterprise as a network administrator, determines your own value.

What is the overall change in the IT industry's employment situation?

04. In, the Internet was a period of rapid development and relatively turbulent period. According to statistics from yingcai net, the overall IT industry was growing at a high speed in and, we do a simple distribution from technical R & D personnel positions to 42% of the total positions. There are a lot of opportunities and opportunities for the rapid development of any industry.

I am engaged in network maintenance. If I want to start a business, what kind of quality conditions do I have?

Entrepreneurship means that you want to do a business, either in the form of services or products provided to the society. Only when the market accepts you can you get a return from the market, as a network manager, first of all, if you start your own business, do you use products or services? If you develop a product, if you plan to provide services to the society, let the society choose, and ultimately make the enterprise successful, you must first have a clear idea and positioning. The second one, after all, is now called the market economy. It is a competitive market, that is, you will never sell cups in the market alone. There are many people selling cups. Is your cup inexpensive or competitive. You need to consider and analyze this. Third, if you succeed, you don't have to worry about how to spend money. Once the market does not select you, you can maintain the company's operation and find new opportunities to defend against risks, if you have completed these three steps, you can give it a try. If you have not thought about these three steps, please don't worry, because every person runs a company and asks him if you want to make money by running a company? Then he is very angry. Do I not make any money in my company? But how many companies survive a year later? There is only a small part. Most companies have some risks because of these risks.

Conclusion: If you want to start a business, you must first know what you want to do. If you are a special network administrator in the Organization, if you are solely responsible for network management, and if you really start a business in the face of complex social environments, how can businesses make money? Therefore, we need to make full preparations for this part. The first one is whether there is a good market for the things we want. We need to enter In-depth market research, second, do you have the ability to truly turn what you want to do into commercial values and make money. And whether you have the appeal and leadership to organize others to do things together. These are all preparations for the entrepreneurial group of network administrators. Only when you are fully prepared can you take various measures and be prepared to meet the challenges, entrepreneurship can indeed achieve personal dreams, but the road to entrepreneurship is not a smooth one.

Currently, the company's network management system is focusing on viruses. Can it be effectively controlled at the network level?

Most of the company's network security staff spent 80% of their time on viruses, in fact, security experts have already said on the newspaper network some time ago that the existing method of virus killing cannot effectively solve the virus problem. What is the virus code? It cannot be developed based on the virus code. Since the virus is always slow for half a shot, the virus is first released, causing losses. After two days, another new virus is generated, and the old anti-virus software still suffers from attacks without solving the problem, therefore, we have taken the initiative to defend against viruses recently. If there is no effective solution for viruses, the most effective method is isolation. We have discovered that the virus will be moderately isolated in the early days, and it is worthwhile to have a mechanism to solve this problem. We do not need virus-killing software now, now we provide a piece of information that we have never seen before. If a machine runs Inexplicably, the system tells me that it will not run if it does not agree, and there is an inexplicable degree of outward connection, it's like we can't open the backdoor from our family. Third, if this item consumes too many system resources, we think it is inappropriate. Later, statistics on 99.9% viruses all have this feature. Therefore, starting from this point, this is not a virus killer concept, this is also a development trend. We hope this product will help users solve this problem after it is released. This is not only in China, it is also a global manufacturer. We know that everyone is focusing on this and hope to solve the virus one day and get rid of the biggest problem of network administrators.

What training should I do for basic technical work?

First, you have your own foothold in any job, because you have a foothold in professionalism and have no foothold in how to serve the Enterprise. First, you do not advocate that you are broad. On this basis, you have a strong quality, for example, you are a technical engineer, but you have a strong comprehensive quality. Based on the technical foundation, you can also have a management quality management thinking, and have the energy to be more advanced, create more things for the enterprise. At that time, your career development will take a step.
