July 31 is System Administrator Appreciation Day, a day for all of us to express our undying gratitude for System admins. Globally, last friday of July is recognized to celebrate System Admin Day
Systems administrators, usually who look after HW, OS, Storage, backup, cloud, virtualization & assist Network/DB/Application administrators tightly.They keep our IT operation live on 24X7. From capacity planning, mid night phone calls, rebuild 12-year-old server that uses more power than your whole house, system admins do it all. Critical Solutions like airline , hospital, banking etc. would not be able to thrive without the networks, services, and tools that allow for communication and collaboration, and system admins are the ones who work thanklessly round the clock throughout the year.
This time, for the first time at Dhaka, Bangladesh system administrators gathered to celebrate the system admin day.
Fifty above System Administrators from different sectors like Mobile Operators, ISP, Banks, NGO’s, Software company’s, service providers gathered to celebrate the day at town’s BRAC center In hall. Like town hall, individuals introduced each other & put their ideas to build a new community named Bangladesh System Administration Forum.
Couple of weeks ago, few Industry lead System Admins took initiative to celebrate System Admin day on focus to build Bangladesh system admin networks, to exchange knowledge & aware local community aligned with Government nationwide Digital IT vision.
Bangladesh Government and Private business entities are moving towards to build Digital Bangladesh. Government has already taken few initiatives to ensure Digital Bangladesh.

Locally, Dhaka has a lot of skilled system administrators who are practically experienced in linux/windows/virtualization/storage administration.
