Disaster Recovery with Red Hat Satellite

Red Hat Solutions Architect Dave Russell was faced with a challenge: Build a secure, high-availability web application platform that could withstand an extreme hardware failure incident. Dave's client, an R&D and IT Security organization in the UK, had highly demanding security needs. One hundred and fifty servers across three geographic sites with a multi-tier application architecture meant that new ground had to be broken to improve manageability, maximize uptime, and ensure fault tolerance. Given the customer's application was based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the natural answer was Red Hat Satellite systems management.
