A Server certification does look very useful now that more people are working at home, and connecting to a server at their office or somewhere else, and not knowing how to fix a server problem very quickly and reliably can make many workers and customers not be able to work because their workplace website, e-mail, and printer server is not working.

plus knowing how to upgrade an server will be very important, they tend to break down at the worse of times.

This is true, servers tend to stay on for most of the day, so you need to be fast when upgrading and fixing servers before the beginning of the workday. I feel servers are also more likely to break because of power surges and random accidents from people who somehow messed up the server from a failed upgrade or angry worker who decide to break the server by hitting it with a heavy object like a large hammer to make their boss angry.

Nothing worse than a boss who doesn't get technology sees the server not working or needing an expensive upgrade.

It is unfortunate that some bosses don't invest more money and time into improving their server, and subscribing to a faster dedicated or virtual private server web hosting server plan for their company website.

the older generation bosses just don't simply get it really, they just don't want to see money spent.

It is unfortunate that some bosses with a lot of money don't want to spend money on making their server, desktop computers, network, and website faster, more reliable, and more secure since they may end up making less money if customers leave because the computer network is down, and cash registers and ATMs don't work, or a ransomware virus or their website went offline because of a lot of traffic.
