About SUSE Manager Proxy

SUSE Manager Proxy Server is an add-on to SUSE Manager Server providing
mirroring proxy support. This allows for load distribution and improved
scalability.

Operation is completely transparent. The SUSE Manager Proxy looks like a
managed client to SUSE Manager Server and like a Server to the managed clients.
Managed clients only talk to the Proxy Server which in turn communicates to the
SUSE Manager Server.

All RPM packages that pass the Proxy Server are cached and subsequent client
requests for these packages are resolved from the cache.

System Requirements

SUSE Manager Proxy Server is a 64bit application. Recommended main memory is
2GB and approx 50 GB of disk space per distribution or channel.

See the Advanced Topics manual for more details on the system requirements.

SUSE Manager Proxy distribution

SUSE Manager Proxy is distributed as an extension (add-on) for SLES 12 SP3
x86_64.
