Many significant state applications run over the physical network. All of these applications require network administration. It is important to understand that once a physical connection is made to a network, the connection requires on-going administrative and technical support. The responsibilities of network administration described here are based on discussions with network administrators in the Agency of Administration. Activities traditionally associated with network administration have also been included.
Most large organizations develop technical support staff responsible for network services.
The State of Vermont is no exception. This holds true also for the group assigned to support the network and their support activities.
