SUSE has announced the general availability of SUSE Manager 2.1, a Linux server management solution built to manage both SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
SUSE Manager 2.1 features enhanced usability, provisioning, compliance and security, and power management to further reduce data center complexity and customer costs.
New SUSE Manager features include an improved setup wizard to guide administrators through the basic steps needed to configure a fully operational SUSE Manager; a better web user interface to improve small-screen viewing; action chaining that lets administrators bundle and execute related management actions in one step; and unattended bare-metal provisioning that allows customers to power on and off and reboot bare-metal systems via the IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) protocol, providing more control over remotely deployed servers.
