UNIX/Linux for Enterprise IT Admins
Description
Despite the fact that most of the servers on the Internet are powered by Linux, Enterprise adoption of this OS has been comparatively slow. In recent years there has been a surge in Enterprise products and platforms that require Linux. Even Microsoft has realized the enormous benefit in offering support for the Linux ecosystem, going so far as enabling their flagship SQL Server to run on Linux.
Consequently, many new system administrators have been thrown into managing a Unix or Linux system without getting the opportunity to learn the fundamentals that all administrators need. Whether a seasoned Windows administrator or a novice Unix admin, you'll learn many essential concepts that will enable you to become a better, more knowledgeable and experienced Linux admin.
Even if you haven’t had to support a Linux OS yet, with the wide diversity of free and open source software available and extremely low cost of ownership, it will prove to be an incredible Swiss Army Knife in your IT bag o’ tricks!
