Our environment is predominantly Sybase with SQL Server.   We are moving from Sybase to a pure SQL Server in approximately
3 years.   The Sybase environment is 15.7 on Solaris in an X86 hardware environment within our local network.   The SQL Server environment is mixed versions of SQL Server on mixed versions of Windows Server with an upcoming project to update versions.   This
environment includes both servers in our network and in Azure. 

Our planned goal is to move off Sybase and a project to do this is underway and thus the need for the selected candidate

The secondary goal is to take work off the SQL Server DBAs.   This will require the individual to have some experience with
Windows Servers and with SQL Server.   Additionally, the person will work with clusters and with Disaster Recovery in our development, test, and production environments.
