Plone System Administrator training (1 day)
This training is for organisations who manage their own information systems and websites and want to run the Plone site on their servers.
Knowledge about the 'bottom' of the Plone CMS is vital to maintain high availability and to secure backup of your valuable content.

Beyond the realm of your visitors, content editors and webmaster, of course it is the technology that actually makes the site 'run'. System administrators should have thorough knowledge about the installation and technical management of your Plone CMS - dealing systematically with the addition of extensions and versioning of the configuration is part of their job.
Target group:
- Plone Webmasters who want deeper knowledge about the management of their servers.
- System administrators who are responsible for managing servers and who have Plone systems in their purview.
