Hardware

Why This?

The answer is on your hands!.

Nowadays almost everyone has at least one computing device, and almost a 60% of the world population has internet.

It doesn’t matter whether its a PC, laptop, phone, server, x86 or ARM; If you are reading this it means you are using any of them.

But, do you really know whats inside it or how does it work? Why did you buy it and what do you use it for? What’s its performance?

Dont worry, most people don’t need to know the answer to those questions since that’s one of the systems administrators jobs;

Choosing the best hardware for the required job and making sure it works the way it should.

Every good system admin must have a wide hardware knowledge since it’s the vital part of any computing structure.

Some questions admins must be able to answer before getting a piece of hardware are;

• Will it perform the best with the chosen software?
• How long will it last?
• Is it powerful enough?
• How reliable is it?
• Is it upgradeable?
• How much does it cost?
• Does it come with any warranty?

Every project no matter what it is or even if it doesn’t talk about hardware at all, must use it.

Even tho people can use virtual machines that means not only using the host PC, but also a virtual one that may have different features.

If theres no hardware, theres nothing else.
