Why we read it this way (5)

Robert Half is a staffing firm posting on behalf of a client; the role is likely contract or contract-to-hire — the boilerplate explicitly mentions 'contract, temporary and permanent placement solutions' and contract benefits, so Contract is the most defensible classification.

The role sits between 15-1244 (Systems Administrator — operating infrastructure) and 15-1252 (Software Developer — automation/scripting). The emphasis on server infrastructure, virtualization, storage, and disaster recovery tips it toward 15-1244, with PowerShell scripting as a secondary duty.

Storage, backup, and disaster recovery are listed as required knowledge areas but name no specific product or tool, so they are omitted from the skills list per extraction rules.

Azure and AWS are listed as 'preferred' in the posting and are captured as a single preferred skill with Azure as primary and AWS as the alternative.

Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
