Why we read it this way (7)
No work location or metro area is specified in the posting; CBSA fields are left blank. SDI Presence serves clients across the U.S., so the role may be client-site-dependent.
The title 'Systems Administrator' carries no seniority modifier, so advertised seniority is Unspecified; however, the 10-year overall and 5-year Windows Server requirements support a Senior classification.
VMware (vCenter, vSphere, application/desktop virtualization, VMware View) is explicitly called 'a plus' in the posting and is treated as preferred.
BCDR experience with Commvault and Datto is explicitly called 'a plus' and is treated as preferred.
SCOM is listed as an alternative/example alongside SolarWinds under monitoring applications in the requirements section; both are captured under a single monitoring skill.
Oracle and Microsoft SQL Cluster are listed together as a single knowledge requirement; SQL Server is used as the primary skill name with Oracle as an alternative since they are presented as interchangeable examples of the same requirement.
The MCITP certification (or equivalent) is listed as a requirement but is a credential rather than a named technology tool, so it is not emitted as a skill.
