Description
Are you a passionate IT professional (in the making) with a passion for System Administration? Then we have a great opportunity for you! We offer an exclusive traineeship focused on IBM Power technology, where you will have the opportunity to grow and take your (technical) skills to new heights under the guidance of experienced professionals.
IBM Power/IBM i is an extremely stable technology that has proven its added value worldwide for years. Given the strategic importance of these systems for many large companies, the demand for expertise in these technologies continues to grow. On the other hand, it provides a unique opportunity to come into contact with all the hardware layers required to provide the necessary services.
As a trainee, you will be a full member of our Managed IT Solutions (MIT) team, where you will gain hands-on experience and knowledge in a supportive environment.
Specifically, thanks to this traineeship, you get the chance to interact with all layers of an IBM Power environment. Hardware as well as software, security as well as automation. Ranging from the IBM proprietary server hardware and associated storage & network components. The specific VIOS virtualisation layer up to system management on the IBM i operating system, with or without automation via Ansible. This both on on premises environments or within the Easi private cloud setup.
Do you not shy away from a challenge and does the above seem to be totally your thing? Then we would like to welcome you to Belgium's Best Workplace since 2015 ;-)
