Arizona State University Business Networks Administration

Requirements: APA Format and Please site sources.

Business networks are often complex enough that it takes several employees to set them up and maintain them. These people, called network administrators, have training in computer and peripheral maintenance and repair, networking design, and the installation of networking software. Most companies with a large network employ their own network administrators. This can be quite a lucrative profession.

Using the Internet, find out what exactly a network administrator is. Answer the following questions:

What does a network administrator do?

What jobs are available for network administrators?

What are the necessary qualifications? Are certifications needed? How often should certifications be updated?

How does the network administrator’s job change when technology changes?

What are the starting salaries for network administrators?
