* Configure and manage Linux-based Mail Servers (e.g., Postfix, Dovecot) to integrate smoothly with Microsoft Exchange and Office 365 services.
* Support the integration of cloud storage solutions such as OneDrive with Linux environments.
* Monitor system performance, security, and compliance of both Microsoft 365 and Linux Servers, addressing any incidents, issues, or vulnerabilities promptly.

* Expertise in Scripting languages such as PowerShell for Microsoft systems and Bash for Linux systems.
* Experience with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), Active Directory, and user authentication across hybrid environments.
* Strong understanding of email routing and collaboration tools in a hybrid environment, such as integrating Microsoft 365 services with Linux mail systems (e.g., Postfix, Dovecot).

* Familiarity with virtualization technologies (e.g., VMware, Hyper-V) and cloud platforms (e.g., Azure, AWS).
* Experience in setting up and troubleshooting hybrid environments and workflows between Microsoft 365 and Linux-based systems.
* Ability to manage security configurations, including compliance standards (GDPR, HIPAA, etc.), across both platforms.
