Red Hat Network Architectural Overview
Red Hat Network has three types of architectures:
|
 |
 |
Hosted model - The customer's individual systems connect with RHN via the Internet and exchange packages and information from the central RHN server(s). |
|
 |
|
Scout model - The customer's individual systems connect to a locally hosted (on the customer network) RHN Scout. The Scout aggregates all necessary data and performs some tasks locally, and also communicates via the Internet with the central RHN server(s). All information stored in the RHN database is kept on the RHN server(s). |
|
 |
|
Satellite model - In this model, all RHN functionality (system profiles, reporting data, application server, etc...) is stored locally on the customer's network. The Satellite Server connects with RHN over the Internet only to download updates (other update methods are available). This model provides customers with the ability to take their RHN solution off the public Internet if desired, and also allows for greater functionality since the RHN database and application server reside on the customer network (and can be customized). |
