In Russia Linux Infrastructure Administration Simplified
The new product supports multivendor environments and significantly simplifies the administration of large fleets of computers and servers.
Astra Group has released an updated version of its Astra Configuration Manager, ACM 1.5, a tool designed for centralized management of large numbers of computers and servers. The product now supports multivendor environments, allowing administrators to work with devices running different Linux distributions from a single console. This marks a significant step toward more convenient, efficient, and unified management of corporate IT infrastructure.
Centralized Administration
ACM is a comprehensive tool for centralized administration, inventory tracking, and device lifecycle management. It collects data on installed software, hardware specifications, and operating system versions across workstations and servers, automates OS and application installation and updates, supports license tracking, and generates reports for infrastructure analysis. These capabilities are particularly valuable for large organizations, where manual management of extensive computer fleets requires substantial time and human resources.
Multivendor Support
The key update in version 1.5 is the introduction of multivendor support. The ACM agent can now operate not only with Astra Linux, but also with other widely used Linux distributions, including RedOS, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora Linux, and Alma Linux. From these systems, ACM gathers data on installed software, system versions, and hardware characteristics, presenting the entire infrastructure within a single interface. Administrators can quickly build charts, dashboards, and analyze device fleet health regardless of platform.
Support for Mobile Devices
ACM 1.5 has also expanded its capabilities for managing mobile devices running Astra Linux Mobile and improved stability when working with dynamic collections, groups of devices automatically formed based on predefined parameters. The system allows flexible configuration of inventory rules and optimizes reporting logic across all supported operating systems.
The development team plans to further expand functionality, including automated software deployment across all supported operating systems.
The new ACM release continues the evolution of a domestic tool designed to reduce routine tasks, boost IT department productivity, and maintain control over device fleets regardless of enterprise scale.
