Alex: You could say that our two areas are interdependent. In the network area, nothing works without a server running in the background, and vice versa.

Gerd: That's right, we need the network infrastructure to run our servers. So we build on each other, we have an interface and that's why it works so well. We couldn't work without the network technology.

Daily work

What is your day-to-day work like?

Alex: As a network administrator, I also prepare access points for other sites. These are configured via the management system and integrated into the network. In a way, we bring the network to the Fronius employees. Put simply, we make sure that others can work. You don't have to sit in front of a computer all day, as the cliché goes, but you can exchange ideas with colleagues, have meetings, appointments, projects and much more.

Gerd: As a system administrator, we run servers, both physical and virtual. We have more than 1,000 servers that provide all sorts of services to enable our users to work - such as authentication, email services, file services, etc.

You can actually become a system administrator as a career changer, as long as you have an interest in IT, stay on top of things and above all enjoy it.
