THE ROLE AND EFFECTIVENESS OF SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR TOOLS

Abstract

This article examines the role and effectiveness of system administration tools in the modern information environment, their primary functional responsibilities, and their importance in ensuring the reliability, security, and efficiency of information systems. With the rapid development of technology, modern IT infrastructures have become exceedingly complex, rendering manual administration virtually impossible. The use of system administration tools is essential for automating processes and optimizing resources. Objective. The aim of this work is to investigate and summarize the role and effectiveness of system administration tools within the context of contemporary IT infrastructure, and to determine their role in ensuring the reliability, security, and efficiency of information systems. Methodology. This research employs a literature review and an analysis of existing software solutions used by system administrators. The key functions and responsibilities of system administrators are analyzed, and the impact of modern technologies on IT infrastructure administration is examined. Scientific Novelty. The study highlights the necessity of process automation in the face of the increasing complexity of IT infrastructure. It identifies the importance of collaboration between developers and administrators to achieve better results. The critical importance of data protection and enhanced monitoring for ensuring cybersecurity is also emphasized. Conclusions. Modern IT infrastructures have become exceedingly complex, making manual administration practically impossible. The use of system administration tools is essential for automating processes and optimizing resources. Organizations require the uninterrupted operation of their systems and networks, making it crucial to have effective tools for administration. Cloud technologies and DevOps are transforming approaches to administration, necessitating close collaboration between developers and administrators, supported by appropriate tools. With the growing availability of automation tools, administrators can work more effectively with data and ensure the stable operation of systems.
