Systems Administration Standards in StudiosHow many things do you look after?
![Page 4: A networking group dedicated to improving infrastructure,](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815f12550346895dcdd800/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
You started with a building - with power, cooling, and space(don’t forget weight restrictions and power restrictions)
![Page 5: A networking group dedicated to improving infrastructure,](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815f12550346895dcdd800/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
You need to understand power and cooling requirements.How much will you need now and to grow?
![Page 6: A networking group dedicated to improving infrastructure,](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815f12550346895dcdd800/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What are your bandwidth and storage requirements?Understanding network and storage bottlenecks
![Page 7: A networking group dedicated to improving infrastructure,](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815f12550346895dcdd800/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What about disaster recoveryHow long will it take for regular backups and restores?
![Page 8: A networking group dedicated to improving infrastructure,](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815f12550346895dcdd800/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
You can’t do much without servers (and the services they provide)What will the load be on specific services? Virtualization?
![Page 9: A networking group dedicated to improving infrastructure,](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815f12550346895dcdd800/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Do you need a render farm? How big? How fast?Need to manage queues, installs, updates, monitoring, etc…

Now we are ready to bring in some artists!Properly size machines for different needs

And did you pick the correct Operating System?How many applications are you expected to support?
![Page 14: A networking group dedicated to improving infrastructure,](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815f12550346895dcdd800/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
And the BIG question…How are you supposed to manage and monitor everything?
![Page 15: A networking group dedicated to improving infrastructure,](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815f12550346895dcdd800/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Can you really keep on top of all this with your current resources?Is your team big enough to be an expert on everything?
![Page 16: A networking group dedicated to improving infrastructure,](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815f12550346895dcdd800/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
With everything constantly changing when do you find the time to research new products and find the best solutions?

If you had multiple offices would you set them up the same?How will another office connect to your current resources?
![Page 23: A networking group dedicated to improving infrastructure,](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815f12550346895dcdd800/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Why not work together on non-proprietary common services?Sharing the load of testing, configuration, monitoring and support
![Page 24: A networking group dedicated to improving infrastructure,](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815f12550346895dcdd800/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Essentially “expanding your support team” so you candirect your focus on your studios proprietary needs
![Page 25: A networking group dedicated to improving infrastructure,](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815f12550346895dcdd800/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
What common elements are almost identically in other studios?OS, Authentication Services, Network Services, Monitoring Tools?

Reducing choices of operating systems to help vendorsfocus more on adding features and making their products better
and also getting better support on more applications

We have already started helping each other by usingthe forums and mailing lists on StudioSysAdmins
