Automating Linux server management with SUSE Manager reduces administrator effort even as the size and complexity of your Linux deployments grow. It's a fast way to multiply your Linux ROI.
SUSE Manager is a good solution for managing SUSE Linux enterprise server across major hardware architectures, virtual platforms and cloud environments.
Need help meeting compliance challenges? SUSE Manager's comprehensive Linux server management capabilities allow you to automate operating system tracking and auditing processes to ensure compliance with internal policies and external regulations.
SUSE Manager helps you improve IT service quality by maximizing system uptime. You can perform Linux server management and provisioning tasks faster and with fewer errors, for non-stop service delivery.
SUSE Manager makes it easy to transition from Red Hat enterprise Linux to SUSE Linux enterprise by managing both distributions. You can replace Red Hat network satellite with SUSE Manager easily while retaining data and configurations, and reusing customized scripts, templates and processes.
Use the Zypp update stack, the fast and efficient update tool chain, to enable the rapid and consistent deployment of patches and updates. Centrally push software by grouping servers. This significantly eases the burden of manually managing each server individually.
Create customized repositories for the delivery of either operating system packages or RPM-based applications and content. Leverage SUSE Manager's API to create custom scripts that programmatically manage tasks, or integrate SUSE Manager with third-party applications and management tools. Apply role-based controls to ensure administrators access only those systems they have the appropriate level of authority to manage.
Granularly search operating system instances by packages, patches, or system specifications. With SUSE Manager's search capabilities, you can protect your systems by identifying servers that require security updates and then automatically apply the necessary patch with one click. Manage virtual guests on VMWare, Xen, KVM, and Hyper-V as if they were running on bare metal.
The agent deployed by SUSE Manager is smaller than that of other solutions and fits comfortably within the footprint of RAM- and storage-constrained Linux environments such as IBM system z and appliances. This capability enables you to manage your complete Linux environment, unlike other Linux management products.
