I wanted to make you all aware that my team just had a posting go up for a level 13 Linux Administrator. </div> <div><br> </div> <div>My team manages MSU's central storage, backup, virtualization and server administration offerings: We have several VMware clusters running a wide variety of both managed and self-managed services and applications, NetApp, EMC and IBM storage arrays that support these clusters (and more), and a Commvault implementation for backups. The Linux position that I'm trying to fill would help support our managed RHEL server offering. </div> <div><br> </div> <div>If working in a team that plays an integral role in supporting the technical infrastructure and operations of the university sounds appealing to you, please apply.</div> <div><span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
