It's Systems Administrator Day and here at Zenoss we are celebrating in proper fashion for the occasion. We're taking time today to thank all the IT wizards out there who help laymen and colleagues alike deal with event disasters, manage downtime, and set up email accounts. Without all of your hard work, the day-to-day tasks of running a modern business comes to a complete halt. Thank you.
