Fundamentals of Server Administration

As companies are increasingly moving IT resources to the cloud with technologies such as Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure, there is an emerging knowledge gap for network administrators who still must deploy and manage on-site servers. Fundamentals of Server Administration provides both students and professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to administer servers in both on-premise and cloud-based environments. It covers topics and concepts for Windows and Linux server environments and includes graphical, as well as console-based administration activities. Fundamentals of Server Administration aligns to the CompTIA Server+ (SKO-005) certification as well as the CompTIA Network Infrastructure Professional stackable certification for those students who also obtain the Network+ certification. It is an invaluable tool for both students and professionals seeking the essential skills needed to meet today's rising demand for a highly skilled IT workforce.A clear focus on best practices for both on-premise and cloud-based deploymentsProvides a vendor-agnostic approach that addresses core server administration concepts for both Windows and Linux server environmentsCovers graphical as well as console-based server administration (i.e., PowerShell and Bash) activitiesServes as the first step in preparing students for the CompTIA Server+ certification examAvailable with Cybersecurity Cloud Labs, providing immersive mock IT infrastructures where students can practice and learn foundational skills
