Adaptiva Enhances Autonomous Patching with Red Hat Enterprise Linux Support

Adaptiva, a frontrunner in autonomous endpoint management, has made waves in the tech community with its recent announcement regarding support for automated Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) patching. This integration is part of their OneSite Patch product, which now offers autonomous patching services not just for Windows and Mac systems, but also for leading Linux distributions, further extending the capabilities and reach of their services.

The Significance of RHEL in Enterprise Environments

RHEL is known for being the most widely adopted paid Linux distribution in enterprise settings. It serves as a backbone for critical infrastructure across a variety of sectors, including Fortune 500 companies, financial institutions, and government entities. With this new feature, customers using Adaptiva’s OneSite Patch can maintain their RHEL endpoints with the same efficiency and precision they have come to expect from all other platforms supported by the company.

Dr. Deepak Kumar, the Founder and CEO of Adaptiva, highlighted that the addition of Red Hat support has long been a frequent request from their enterprise clientele. By introducing this capability, Adaptiva aims to eliminate yet another hurdle in achieving complete patch coverage for its users. This improvement allows organizations to manage all their endpoints with a single solution, facilitating compliance on a larger scale. With zero additional effort, companies can achieve real-time visibility and control when patching, which is vital in today’s fast-paced digital landscape.

Seamless Integration for Existing Customers

For current users of Adaptiva's OneSite Patch, the good news continues as they will automatically receive patches for RHEL systems without the need for any extra installations. Furthermore, the OneSite Patch also extends support to popular open-source Linux distributions, including Ubuntu, CentOS, and Debian. This means that organizations utilizing different flavors of Linux can feel secure knowing they have comprehensive patching support.

An Impressive Patch Catalog

What sets Adaptiva apart is its extensive patch catalog. The company’s offerings now support more than 20,000 products and over 100,000 patches, covering essential software like Google Chrome, Adobe Acrobat Reader, 7-Zip, and many others. As new patches roll out, they are updated in real-time within the OneSite Patch system. Adaptiva’s dedicated metadata team works tirelessly to continuously improve this catalog, ensuring customers have access to the latest patches relevant for their operations. If users have specific applications in need of patches, Adaptiva welcomes these requests and prioritizes them accordingly to ensure quick responses and inclusion.

Chaz Spahn, the Director of Product Management at Adaptiva, emphasized that customers manage complex and multi-platform environments that require a smooth patching experience. The company's extensive patch catalog is designed to meet these needs, ensuring comprehensive coverage for all the software tools that their clients depend on daily.
