Save IT management time, effort, and costs with Red Hat Insights

Modern organizations rely on their IT infrastructure to run business operations and deliver exceptional customer experiences. Over time, most IT environments become increasingly complex and complicated to manage. This is especially true when organizations begin to manage workloads and infrastructure across multiple datacenter or cloud environments.

Red Hat® Insights is a unique suite of hosted services that helps you manage and optimize hybrid and multicloud environments. Included with Red Hat Enterprise Linux® and accessed through the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console, Insights uses predictive analytics and deep domain expertise to streamline operational tasks and infrastructure life cycles from Day 0 through Day 2. It also works across on-site and cloud environments, so you can manage everything from a single interface. You can even link your Red Hat account to your cloud provider account and automatically connect your cloud-based systems to Insights and other Red Hat services upon provisioning.

With a focus on operations, security, and business outcomes, the services within Red Hat Insights help you stay ahead of critical issues and free your staff to focus on innovation.

The image builder lets you simply and consistently provision Red Hat Enterprise Linux hosts to support standardized operating environments (SOEs). Create, manage, and deploy Red Hat infrastructure consistently and rapidly across your IT environment, from on-site datacenters to AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. Customize your Red Hat Enterprise Linux images with your preferred third-party software by adding RPM Package Manager (RPM) repositories. Or take advantage of certified gold images, included with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, to speed deployment.

Insights streamlines patching and update management across your entire hybrid environment. Review Red Hat product advisories, available patches, and impacted hosts to create update plans. Configure reusable patch templates to control which hosts receive which updates. Deploy your updates remotely to any host—regardless of location—from a single web console. 

Security analytics tools help you manage risk effectively. Scan your systems for Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs), collect scan information, and access remediation guidance from a single interface. Prioritize remediation actions based on the severity, risk type, and impact of the change. Audit regulatory compliance with OpenSCAP policies, correct non-compliant systems, and generate compliance reports. Define security policies, monitor systems for compliance, and alert teams of compliance issues. And rapidly detect active malware signatures in systems across your hybrid cloud environment.

Configuration assessment capabilities rapidly identify operational risks and provide remediation guidance based on Red Hat support cases, industry best practices, and issues found by our technology and service partners. The drift service detects configuration drift that can lead to performance, availability, security, and compliance issues. Compare your system configurations to customized baselines, other systems, and historical profiles to find changes and notify stakeholders before end users are impacted.

The subscription management service lets you track and manage Red Hat subscription use across your entire environment efficiently and confidently. Explore your account-wide subscription profile via an easy-to-understand web console. Gain complete visibility into subscription use at the organization, cluster, node, and project levels. Track and visualize historical use to better plan future IT investments.

Resource optimization capabilities help you understand and right-size your public cloud deployments using processor, memory, and network performance metrics. It monitors system performance over a 24-hour period, gives a score for each metric, and assesses systems as optimized, undersized, oversized, under pressure, or idling. Use this information to balance your cloud costs with the performance requirements of critical applications.
