Red Hat Enterprise Deployment and Systems Management (RH401)

Manage Red Hat Enterprise Linux deployments

Experienced system administrators will learn how to implement and manage Red Hat Enterprise Linux® deployments efficiently and effectively, in ways that make their systems manageable by a team of administrators. Central to this course is training on the use of the Red Hat Network Satellite Server for deployment and provisioning of Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems.
