The Virtualization Operations Specialist at NavitsPartners is a critical role focused on managing and optimizing virtualization environments to ensure seamless enterprise-level operations. This position requires a deep understanding of VMware technologies, including ESXi, vSphere, and Horizon, to effectively administer and maintain these systems. The specialist will be responsible for troubleshooting and resolving complex issues related to High Availability (HA), Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS), and storage replication, ensuring that the virtualization infrastructure operates efficiently and reliably. In addition to day-to-day administration, the role involves performing root cause analysis by examining logs from vCenter and virtual machines (VMs). This analytical approach is essential for identifying and addressing potential issues before they escalate into significant problems. The specialist will also manage and optimize storage replication and disaster recovery solutions, which are vital for maintaining data integrity and availability in the event of a failure. Another key responsibility is the implementation and oversight of backup strategies using tools such as Veeam, Avamar, or similar technologies. This ensures that all critical data is backed up and can be restored quickly in case of data loss. The role requires a proactive approach to security, as the specialist will need to respond to security incidents and have a solid background in information security practices. The ability to travel to client locations as needed, often with minimal notice, is also a requirement for this position.
