# administer ICT system — Database Administrator

For a Database Administrator (DBA), 'administer ICT system' isn’t about general IT support; it’s laser-focused on the *infrastructure supporting* the databases themselves. Daily, this means managing the operating system (usually Linux or Windows Server) where the database software runs – patching, applying security updates, and ensuring sufficient disk space. It also includes configuring networking for database access, managing user accounts *within* the OS to control who can even reach the database server, and monitoring CPU/memory usage specifically related to database processes. Tools are things like `systemctl` (Linux), PowerShell (Windows), performance monitors (perfmon, vmstat), and scripting languages (Bash, Python) for automation.
