[BESAdmin-Announcements] IBM Endpoint Manager Releases RHEL Custom Repository Support for Native tools sites users

[Announcements for BES Administrators]

IBM is pleased to announce support for Patch Management for Red Hat
Enterprise – RHEL Custom Repository. Users of the Patch Management for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux  - RHEL Native tools sites can now register
repositories and Red Hat satellites through the RHEL Custom Repository
dashboard.

IT Operations have set up local repositories to download and distribute
patches for different versions of Red Hat  Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
operating system.

In the past, IBM Endpoint Manager provided Fixlets in the RHEL native tools
to connect with the Red Hat servers, download the relevant patches, and
distribute them to the target endpoints. The local repositories were not
leveraged for patch deployment. This dashboard allows the Fixlets to use
YUM for downloads, thus saving bandwidth and providing improved
performance.

Users can also leverage the custom repositories to deliver custom software
through IBM Endpoint Manager.

Highlights:
      Dashboard: RHEL Custom Repository Management
      Analysis: Repository Configuration Red Hat Enterprise Linux
      Task: Enable custom repository support - Red Hat Enterprise Linux
