Chapter One: An Introduction to Computer Systems and Networking
How did it start?
If we are going to start talking about computer systems and networks as a career, we have to understand its history and how it became an in-demand job today.
Information technology,
better known as IT, is defined as the technology that involves the development, use and maintenance of computer systems, software and networks for the distribution and processing of data. The term goes way back to 1978.
Computers did exist before 1978, but they were mostly used to perform calculations. Since they started to be used to index and sort written information, the term IT was invented.
Today, IT is a quickly evolving field and that, of course, includes the computer systems and networking career inside this branch.
Computer systems and networking. What exactly is it?
The IT career is based on the upkeep, configurations and reliable operation of the computer system, especially the process of multi-user computers and its networks with other users.
Nowadays, companies rely on their networks for a lot of their work, so any issues must be fixed quickly and entirely.
The computer systems and network administrator keeps the organization's workflow and its lines of communication accessible - at all times necessary. Besides identifying and solving network problems, computer systems administrators also make updates to all hardware and software they manage, so they're always ongoing.
A computer systems administrator is the main point of contact for an organization's network users when they suffer some technical issues. The specialist also needs to guarantee that every connection in the office is working well and supervise the performance of the Internet optimizing their hardware and software.
A computer system and network administrator also make sure that the overall performance and security of the computers they supervise, fulfil the needs of the network users, without surpassing the company's budget.
The person in charge of this job needs to be ready to find new issues each day and needs to get their knowledge optimized to approach them efficiently.
The importance of the field in the current era
Today, companies look at networks and computer systems as their foundation to work optimally. They need their hardware to be highly functional and maintainable, they need their Internet and servers stable, and they need someone to do all the networking and cable installation and check-ups constantly around their offices.
As we said before, they are the ones responsible for the configuration, reliable operation and upkeep of computer systems inside the office. They seek to ensure that the uptime, performance, resources and security of the computers they manage to meet the needs of all the users.
Today, companies are very
