[nottingham] Network Manager job at Loughborough University

Hi folks,

Apologies for the spam, but I figured a few people on these lists might be
interested. I know some of you are between jobs at the moment :-(

Loughborough University (that place in between Leicester and Nottingham where
lots of sporty types run around in purple tracksuits!) is looking to recruit
a new network manager, as per...

  http://jobs.ac.uk/jobfiles/HM734.html

Most of our critical services run on Linux systems, so there is a big Linux
element to this. However, the primary requirement is for a person clued up
on Cisco routers and switches (IOS, CatOS, VTP), with some management
experience.

I hasten to add that this vacancy arises due to the previous incumbent of this
post (Rob Thirlby) taking early retirement :-)

More information on the network at Loughborough is available from our comms
group website :-

  http://lanlord.lboro.ac.uk/

This new recruit will also be responsible for Loughborough's contribution to
the JANET Web Cache Service - the largest single service on the JANET network,
shipping 150m transactions/day or ~350Mbit/s of traffic in recent peaks. The
JWCS is entirely Linux based, using the Squid cache and Linux Virtual Server
load balancing. More on this at:

  http://wwwcache.ja.net/

The proceedings of our recent caching workshop (top link) may be of interest
to people here irrespective of the recruitment aspect - in particular we talk
about the problems involved in scaling and monitoring large Linux clusters,
and getting started with the Squid proxy/cache server.

Please feel free to pass this message on to anyone who might be interested...

Cheers,

Martin
