Scott Bowe’s Summary

I have officially been a Windows and VMware Systems Administrator for 5 years, but have been working with Windows Server in some shape or form since 1997.

I hope to continue to grow my knowledge base on Windows, Unix/Linux, and VMware and share that knowledge with others.

In my current position I hope to continue to improve the quality of service and stability of the VMware Infrastructure, while reducing the manual work required to maintain the environment.

  Within the CIS major as UW-Stevens Point, I followed a course of study that emphased on a technical course of study (Networking, System Management, etc) and Data Communication (advanced study of concepts like OSI). This course of study resulted in my course work being more similar to a traditional Computer Science Major, rather than MIS, or the middle of the road CIS.
