  • Coordinate with platform teams for vSAN/SAN/NAS storage, NSX‑T network segments/security groups, and change requests.
  • Contribute to capacity/performance checks (CPU, memory, IOPS/latency) and right‑sizing.

Backup & Recovery

  • Validate backups and perform restore tests for Linux servers using Veeam/Commvault/Rubrik/Cohesity (as applicable).
  • Maintain backup job hygiene (policies, schedules, retention) and document recovery steps.

Monitoring, Documentation & ITIL

  • Monitor system health with tools like vROps, Prometheus/node_exporter, Grafana, Nagios/Zabbix/SCOM, and respond to alerts.
  • Create/update SOPs, runbooks, KB articles, CMDB entries, and change records.
