Simplifying Systems Management
on January 6, 2010
At the University of Southern Mississippi (USM) in Hattiesburg, the IT team used to struggle to manage 80 physical servers — none of which had the same configuration, meaning IT staff constantly reconfigured them manually.
“When you have a farm of 80-plus servers, it’s very time consuming,” said Systems Administrator James Daniel, “and it was prone to error.”
USM found the perfect solution: Red Hat Network (RHN) Satellite. Now instead of manually updating each server, the IT team manages
multiple servers from one easy-to-use interface with one-click software updates.
By creating a homogeneous IT environment, Satellite allows IT teams to manage multiple servers from one central location, and make
large-scale deployments of applications anywhere, anytime. Satellite also automates tasks and tracks performance, so the IT department
always knows the state of its systems.
