BENEFITS & FEATURES

A single, centralized tool

The RHN Satellite centralized platform lets you:

  • Update software with 1 click in an easy-to-use interface.
  • Ensure security fixes and configuration files are applied across your environment consistently.
  • Track the performance of your Linux systems.
  • Manage the complete lifecycle of your Linux infrastructure.

Secure, remote administration

On-site or a world away:

  • Group systems together for easier administration.
  • Automate formerly manual tasks.
  • Select flexible delivery architectures: RHN Satellite, Proxy, or Hosted.
  • Develop role-based administration policies.

Higher productivity

Use RHN Satellite to reduce complexity and increase operational efficiency. With all aspects of lifecycle management automated, the productivity of your Linux administration is considerably enhanced by taking action across any number of machines simultaneously. You can increase the number of systems in your environment without adding administrators.

Reduced system lifecycle costs, quick ROI

Because your machine configurations are centralized, your deployment, configuration, and management costs are much lower.

Less downtime

By automating key administrative processes, you can patch and configure machines much more rapidly, keeping them up and available. Because the RHN Satellite server GUI eliminates the need to use the command line, workers make fewer mistakes when provisioning, patching, or configuring systems, meaning fewer systems are out of commission—and for substantially less time.

ADD-ONS
