What is SysAdmin Day for Proud IT Pros? It’s that time of year to say Thank you, SysAdmin. Here’s hoping SCCM, Intune, Hyper-V, ESX, etc., servers don’t go down on our big day!

SysAdmin Day 2018 is on Friday, 27th July. SysAdmins are System Administrators; in other words, they are IT Pros.

SysAdmin = IT Pro

I was able to raise awareness of SysAdmin Day within the organization. On this day, we arranged a corporate-level quiz program.

Patch My PC

We tried to put a SysAdmin march-past placard in our IT Park, where more than 10K people are working.

Who are System Admins or SysAdmins?

Yes, the following are SysAdmins – System administrators. IT pros. The IT guy (or gal). Techies. They have many names. IT Pros are IT Administrators who don’t want to do coding (by choice).

IT Pros are part of operations teams. They love to manage servers, Cloud Servers, Cloud Services, Cloud Storage, SaaS applications, Databases, Network Environment (Firewalls, Routers, Proxy, and Switches), Desktops, Laptops, Mobile, Security, and on-prem Applications.

They are the folks who design and architect Data Centers, Applications, Network Infrastructure, Server Infrastructure, etc.

I have a blog post that explains more about SysAdmins and other IT jobs. I recommend reading the position for more details about the SysAdmin profile.

When is SysAdmin Day?

You can celebrate SysAdmin Day on the last Friday of July. This year, it’s on 27th July. System Administrator Appreciation Day is a 24-hour event. This day has always been on the Last Friday of July.

How to Win Prices on SysAdmin Day?

Altaro will be giving away Amazon eGift Cards to the first 100 eligible entries and 1 Grand Prize for one (1) lucky winner.

Altaro has some fantastic options for the grand prize, including a PlayStation 4 Pro, Xbox One X, 3-year membership of Amazon Prime, and more, but it will be up to the Grand Prize winner to choose their Grand Prize.

  • PlayStation 4 Pro
  • Xbox One X

So in total, we would have 101 winners (if all are eligible entries).

Happy SysAdmin Day to all of my readers!!
