Network Administrator
Network administrators are responsible
for the performance, reliability, and
scalability of corporate networks.
Typical tasks performed by a network
administrator includes:
designing, deploying new networks
deploying new devices onto a network,
setting and enforcing security policies
for network-connected elements
monitoring network performance and
reconfiguring network elements to
improve performance
managing network-sourced events
tracking the configuration of a
network and the inventory of devices
attached to it
detecting failures

User Requirements
Effective computer network setup is a difficult task because of the
factors that need to be considered before a network setup can be
decided on. The network administrator is up to the task of identifying
user requirements and measuring this up against a working budget.
After gathering the needs of the user, the network administrator must be
able to profile the users and the different resources that are needed in
the computer network. The complexity of the network does not depend
on the number of users but on the number of network services that must
be offered. If the profiling of the users and user requirements yields a
small network requirement, then the administrator may decide on using
a less-structured approach.

Next consideration would be the hardware requirements of the
computer network. The network administrator is tasked to decide on
the kind of computers that must be purchased for servers and for
clients.

Software Requirements
Another consideration is the system software and application software.
System software is essentially the operating systems that will be used in
every computer that is a part of the network. Application software
includes both standalone desktop applications, which may not
necessarily be for computer networking, and network applications or
services.

Client computers, on the other hand, are workstations that request the
mentioned services.
Peer
