From the Paper:

"It is a fact that the computers as well as the computer networks of today are no longer as simple and uncomplicated as they were a few years ago, and as time goes by, they are indeed becoming more complex and complicated and the system administrators of today are definitely faced with more challenges than they were a few years ago. Gone are the days when a Systems Administrator was responsible for just a few computers, more often placed in the same area. However, today it is no longer as simple as being responsible for a few user accounts and a few applications, without having to use the system of a 'local area network'. The systems administrators of today are in charge of a hundred and sometimes even a thousand computers and a similar number of user accounts. These computers may never be located within the same area; they are often located in remote areas, and the applications that run them are several and quite complicated in their multiplicity and variety and therefore, complexity. These computers generally depend on the various networked resources like file servers, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, also known as simply DHCP, Domain Name Systems servers, or DNS, and also the system of shared printers.
