Command and Control: System Administration at U.S. Central Command

Abstract: 

This talk will serve as an introduction to the function of military Command and Control (C2) from a systems support perspective. Andy will discuss performing the sysadmin role in a military environment where systems can have a critical life-or-death function. He will also share examples of scripts and techniques used to solve problems created by the C2 systems environment. Finally, he will offer a glimpse into this unique environment's special quirks, challenges, and interesting lessons learned.

Andy works for Northrop Grumman as the technical lead for the Global Command and Control System at the Headquarters, U.S. Central Command (J6) in Tampa, Florida. He taught Linux and UNIX courses at the University of Maryland in Europe for five years, has been a command and control system administrator for over a decade, and was the promoter for the 2006 GCCS System Administration and Engineering Conference.
