Hopefully Red Hat will forgive me for the cut and paste, but for those that don't bother to look (https://rhn.redhat.com/info/overview_enterprise.pxt): Red Hat Network Enterprise Service Red Hat Network Enterprise Service includes all of the features of Basic Service, as well as features designed to simplify the management of large groups of systems: System grouping: Web servers, database servers, workstations and other workload-focused systems may be grouped so that each set can be administered in common ways. Multiple administrators: Administrators may be given rights to particular system groups, easing the burden of system management over very large organizations. System Set Manager: Actions may be applied to sets of systems instead of single systems. Work with members of a predefined system group, or work with an ad-hoc collection of systems. Install a single package to each, subscribe them all to a new channel, or apply all errata to them with a single action. Package Profile Comparison: Compare the package set on a system with the package sets of similar systems. Massive Scalability: Figuring out a list of outdated packages for a thousand systems would take days for a dedicated sysadmin. Red Hat Network Enterprise Service can do it for you in seconds. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following advanced options are available for customers with systems subscribed to Enterprise Service: Proxy Server: Red Hat Network Proxy Server is a custom-built proxy system deployed on a customer's site that caches packages for distribution across a local Intranet while maintaining a single, secure connection to RHN. Customers who deploy the Proxy Server may also maintain their own customized channels. Satellite Server: Red Hat Network Satellite Server is a custom-built system which enables large organizations to store system profiles locally. The RHN Web interface is served from a local web server and is disconnected from the public internet; all package/errata management is done locally. The customer has complete discretion in maintaining a connection with RHN for updates to the official Red Hat Linux packages and channel package updates. RHN Satellite can work in tandem with RHN Proxy Server.
