Brenda MacLeod
Senior Systems Administrator
Kemptville Data Dynamics
Dear Hiring Team,
I am writing to express my interest in the Systems Administrator position at Kemptville Data Dynamics. With a background in administering high-availability hybrid environments across Linux and Windows platforms, I am eager to contribute my operational experience in virtualization, system automation, and storage infrastructure to support your enterprise infrastructure.
At Rideau Telemetric Solutions, I direct the ongoing reliability, security, and maintenance of hybrid IT infrastructure spanning on-premises VMware vSphere clusters and Azure tenancies. In this role, I have automated routine server provisioning, patching cycles, and backup validation across 180 virtual machines using Ansible and PowerShell scripting, while also orchestrating a scheduled zero-downtime migration of core storage arrays to modern SAN architectures for 650 personnel.
Previously, at Laurentian Geospatial Systems, I managed 90 physical and virtual Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Windows servers supporting compute-intensive workloads. I standardized Veeam backup schedules and off-site disaster recovery replication routines, cutting recovery time objectives from six hours to two hours, and implemented centralized monitoring with alert thresholds using Zabbix to eliminate undetected hardware and service anomalies across critical production hosts.
I welcome the opportunity to discuss how my hands-on background in systems automation, backup operations, and infrastructure maintenance aligns with the technical goals at Kemptville Data Dynamics. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Brenda MacLeod
