Red Hat Network Architectural Overview
Red Hat Network is available in two different deployment models, based on your system management needs and size of deployment. See the Architecture comparison table for deployment options.
Hosted model - Red Hat Network
The customer's individual systems connect with RHN via the Internet and exchange packages and information from the central RHN servers.
Features
Features
- Intuitive web user interface makes it easy to manage systems
- Hosted database repository
- No additional infrastructure needed in your environment
- Set up in only minutes
Satellite model - Red Hat Network
All Red Hat Network functionality is on your network, allowing you much greater functionality and customization. The Satellite server connects with Red Hat over the public Internet only to download new content and updates.This model also allows customers to take their Red Hat Network solution completely off-line if desired.
Features
Features
- Includes an embedded Oracle® database to store packages, profiles, and system information.
- Instantly update systems for security fixes or to provide packages or applications needed immediately.
- API layer lets you create scripts to automate functions or integrate with existing management applications.
- Distribute custom or 3rd party applications and updates.
- Create staged environments (development, test, production) to select, manage and test content in a structured manner.
- Create errata for custom content, or modify existing errata to provide specific information to different groups.
- Access to advanced features in the Provisioning Module, such as bare metal PXE boot provisioning and integrated network install trees.
- Access to Red Hat Network Monitoring Module for track system and application performance.
Red Hat Network Proxy Server
Red Hat Network Proxy Server is also available as an add-on for both Hosted and Satellite environments. The Proxy Server caches packages to speed downloads. In a Hosted environment, this can greatly reduce Internet bandwidth used. If you are using Satellite server, adding Proxy servers to remote locations that have many systems can improve scalability and performance.
Red Hat Network Satellite
Red Hat Network Satellite is an easy-to-use systems management platform for your growing Linux infrastructure. Built on open standards, RHN Satellite provides powerful systems administration capabilities such as management, provisioning and monitoring for large deployments. Satellite allows you to manage many servers as easily as you would one.

- Virtual guest provisioning
- Multi-state rollback (includes snapshot based recovery)
- Configuration management
- RPM based application provisioning
- Kickstart configuration writer
When you upgrade to Satellite, you also get enhanced features including bare metal PXE boot provisioning, integrated network install tree, and configuration management profiles.
The Provisioning module requires that the system also have a Management module.
Red Hat Network Monitoring Module
The Monitoring module allows you to:
* Track the performance of your Enterprise Linux systems.
* Receive alerts regarding system performance, allowing you to take action before problems arise.
* Track the performance of your Enterprise Linux systems.
* Receive alerts regarding system performance, allowing you to take action before problems arise.
Functionality
- Monitor systems using dozens of pre-built probes for Enterprise Linux systems and popular applications from Oracle®, MySQL®, Apache®, and BEA®.
- Create custom probes for applications not included in the pre-built probe set.
- Configure warning and critical thresholds for each probe.
- Receive email or pager alerts when thresholds are reached.
- Group probes together into Probe Suites for fast deployment.
- View graphs of probe performance over time.
- The Monitoring module requires that the system also have a Management module. In addition, you must have a Satellite Server to store the Monitoring data.
