2 BUSINESS DEMANDS DRIVE I.T. TRANSFORMATION Business wants agility, lower cost, and new capabilities. IT is struggling with existing legacy infrastructure architecture and cost model. Cloud providers are using next- generation IT built on open source technologies. IT needs to adopt cloud architectures and technologies to close the innovation gap. RED HAT CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE

8 Red Hat Satellite Roadmap Timeline We Are Here Version 5 Satellite 5.6 Satellite 5.7 Satellite 5.x Fixes & Security Updates Satellite 5 End-Of-Life Version 6 Satellite 6.0 Satellite 6.1 Satellite 6.x Satellite 6.y 8

9 Red Hat Satellite v5.6 Now Available Themes Features Benefits Expanded reporting and troubleshooting capabilities Increased Satellite flexibility and scaling Enhanced content sync & control Improved system availability Enhanced subscription and system reporting Client side crash analysis Automated provisioning in PXEless environments New install option: embedded database on separate system (admin-managed database) Expanded install option: Additional choice for external DBA-managed database Inter-Satellite Sync (ISS) content management and trust refinement Red Hat Satellite server hotbackups Provides incremental, in-depth details and reports of subscription consumption and hardware facts across the totality of your Red Hat deployment. Crashes can be centrally reported to the administrator for improved awareness, analysis, and timely triage. Automated and efficient provisioning of Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems in environments previously hostile to Satellite provisioning. Provides significant scaling without requiring the expertise of a DBA Using a DBA-managed database for your backend? Now you have a choice beyond just Oracle. We now support PostgreSQL as an option as well. Administrators of each Satellite in a synchronized exchange now have finer control over access permissions per Satellite, per Organization, and, by extension, per Channel. No longer do IT teams need to build in downtime when backing up the Satellite server. Zero downtime = more productivity and availability! 9

10 Satellite 5.6 Themes, Feature Description & Customer Benefits Theme: Expanded reporting and troubleshooting capabilities. Enhanced subscription and system reporting: Red Hat Satellite now provides incremental levels of reporting which marry existing subscription views with newer reporting capabilities across subscription consumption, hardware details and facts. Benefit: Provides incremental, in-depth details and reports of subscription consumption and hardware facts across the totality of your Red Hat deployment. 10

11 Satellite 5.6 Themes, Feature Description & Customer Benefits Theme: Expanded reporting and troubleshooting capabilities. Client side crash analysis: Red Hat Satellite now supports aggregation of error and crash information via integration with the client-side reporting tool called ABRT (Automatic Bug Reporting Tool). This integration provides a centralized mechanism to collect and analyze system state information at the time of an application crash on end clients. Benefit: Crashes can be centrally reported to the administrator for improved awareness, analysis, and timely triage. 11

12 Satellite 5.6 Themes, Feature Description & Customer Benefits Theme: Increased Red Hat Satellite flexibility and scaling. Automated provisioning in PXE-less environments: Cobbler buildiso support has been added to Satellite, allowing for automated provisioning in environments without a PXE option via creation of custom ISOs. Benefit: Automated and efficient provisioning of Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems. 12

13 Satellite 5.6 Themes, Feature Description & Customer Benefits Theme: Increased Red Hat Satellite flexibility and scaling. Red Hat Satellite server scalability: Red Hat Satellite now has an installation option for deploying the Satellite admin-managed (embedded) database on a separate Red Hat Enterprise Linux system. Benefit: Significant scaling without requiring the expertise of a DBA. 13

14 Satellite 5.6 Themes, Feature Description & Customer Benefits Theme: Increased Red Hat Satellite flexibility and scaling. Choice of external, DBA-managed database: Red Hat Satellite now offers the option of using either a PostgreSQL or Oracle database for those requiring an external DBA-managed database for scaling. Benefit: Freedom of choice, if an external DBA-managed database is required. 14

15 Satellite 5.6 Themes, Feature Description & Customer Benefits Theme: Enhanced content synchronization and control between organizations and Red Hat Satellite servers. Inter-Satellite Sync (ISS) Content Management and Trust Refinement: Inter-Satellite Sync allows one Satellite instance to pull content from another Satellite instance. With this release, you now have the ability to retain and refine Channel (or repository) access permissions when synching from one Satellite to another. Benefit: Administrators of each Satellite in a synchronized exchange now have finer control over access permissions per Satellite, per Organization, and, by extension, per Channel. 15

16 Satellite 5.6 Themes, Feature Description & Customer Benefits Theme: Improved system availability. Red Hat Satellite server hot-backups: The black-box embedded database back end will exchange Oracle for PostgreSQL, providing the ability to perform hot-backups when backing up the Satellite server. Benefit: No longer do IT teams need to build in downtime when backing up the Satellite server. Zero downtime = more productivity and enhanced availability! 16

17 Red Hat Satellite 5.6 Beta Participant Quote "Satellite is one of the more reliable pieces of software we've deployed and seems indispensable for setups with a large number of RHEL servers. The 5.6 release looks fantastic; the long awaited switch to PostgreSQL not only demonstrates Red Hat's commitment to open source, but also brings in practical benefits like hot backups & being able to almost effortlessly split the DB load onto a separate machine. It also provides a comprehensive view of all software crashes and links related crashes occurring on multiple servers. This feature should prove to be extremely useful in detecting possible issues or regressions. I am really looking forward to seeing Satellite 5.6 in action."
