Say Hello to our new Sys Admin
by Dave Tufts - August 1, 2008 / 5:06pm View more articles
We're excited to welcome Mike Denning to iMarc. He's our new systems administrator.
Over the past couple years, iMarc's hosting business has grown quite a bit. We now run 12 web servers and manage about 150 websites for clients. We're hosting DNS, troubleshooting client email issues, and trying to keep our internal network and workstations up and running. Until this month, the job of maintaining all those systems fell on iMarc's developers. Now, it's all Mike's responsibility :)
Mike comes to iMarc with an extensive background in network and server management. His resume includes things like sed, awk, Snort, and BSD—what's not to love?
Actually Mike has been here for a couple weeks now. In his first week, he configured our non-GUI FreeBSD fileserver to play hold-music on our phone system—clients kept asking for more Scorpions and Kraftwerk while on hold. If you've ever tried to mix command-line FreeBSD, mp3 playlists, and an ancient phone system, you'll appreciate this feat.
Going forward, Mike will play a crucial role in keeping servers up and running as well as implementing measures to make our hosting infrastructure more efficient.
