Red Hat Network

Red Hat Network is an easy-to-use systems management platform for your Linux infrastructure. Built on

open standards, it uses a web-based graphical interface. Its services are provided through modules

that allow you to add enhanced management capabilities.

Red Hat Network provides simple tools to manage the life cycle of systems efficiently on your network,

including provisioning new systems, managing their updates and configuration changes, monitoring

system performance and eventually redeploying the systems for a new purpose.

Red Hat Network lowers deployment, configuration and management costs and it enhances security

through a single centralized tool, secure connection policies for remote administration, and secure

content.
