Now more than ever, systems management professionals in medium enterprises are charged with doing more with less. These systems administrators are faced with virtually the same challenges as their counterparts in larger organizations, but without the number of support staff, specialized skills sets and larger budgets that a larger organization can afford. Time spent "fire fighting" across a variety of systems management disciplines, as well as the need to perform labor intensive manual chores, leaves little extra time to proactively tackle other strategic initiatives such as performance improvements or root cause analysis. These individuals are frequently stretched thin, as many are often single handedly responsible for accomplishing the bulk of the tasks necessary to achieve the IT stability critical to running the business.
