Product Information

The Smart Management Add-On for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, when coupled with Red Hat Network Satellite, allows you to manage the complete lifecycle of your Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems. The Smart Management Add-On includes Red Hat Network Management and Provisioning modules that allow you to provision, patch, configure, and fully control your Red Hat Enterprise Linux development, test, and production systems. You can also purchase an optional Red Hat Network Monitoring module. By proactively automating routine tasks, such as patch management, you will have time to concentrate on other, higher value-added tasks.

Features

• Lifecycle management - provision, update, and configure all Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems from one console. Get fine-grained package and configuration management capabilities
• Provisioning - provision new Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems quickly and consistently, deploy entire application stacks, from Red Hat Enterprise Linux to independent software vendor (ISV) applications, to custom applications, drivers, firmware, and configuration files and quickly create templates for provisioning using Kickstart
• Patch management - manage thousands of systems as easily as one using the system groups feature, schedule updates to occur during maintenance windows, compare package profiles between systems to quickly spot differences, undo problematic changes with snapshots and rollbacks and take an existing environment and achieve a higher degree of consistency
• Monitoring (additional option) - monitor both Red Hat Enterprise Linux and applications from Oracle, BEA, Apache, and other third-party vendors, monitor utilisation of CPU, memory, and storage and receive email or pager notices when a probe reaches a predefined warning or critical threshold. View reports and graphs of probe performance over time to determine what adjustments need to be made
• Reporting and auditing - get detailed histories of events that take place on each system to meet compliance requirements, choose between prepackaged and custom reports and manage your Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscription
• API - integrate RHN Satellite with other management frameworks from IBM, BMC and HP
• Multiple organisations - logically subdivide your Red Hat Enterprise Linux environment by geography, system function, department, or other technical or organisational parameter
• Configuration management - improve consistency and enable higher availability and fast time to resolution of problems
