Red Hat Network

Red Hat Network is a solution for managing a Red Hat Linux system or a network of Red Hat Linux systems.

Red Hat Network allows administrators to efficiently manage the systems on their network. Through a simple user interface, administrators can perform patch management, updates, monitoring, and maintenance. And because RHN is Web-based, it can be accessed from anywhere. Satellite or Proxy server options provide advanced capabilities and the ability to get updates directly from Red Hat with even greater levels of security and reduced network bandwidth.

To achieve this most effectively there are several modules and architectures as well as a virtualisation option.
