CIQ Bundles Enterprise Linux Manager Free With RLC Pro Subscriptions
Global – October 12, 2026 -- CIQ is providing its Enterprise Linux Manager (ELM) at no additional charge to all RLC Pro subscriptions, giving fleet operators control over when packages reach production hosts.
ELM mirrors upstream repositories onto customer-owned storage
The tool sits between package sources and the hosts that install them. It mirrors upstream repositories onto infrastructure the customer already operates, whether connected or not, so hosts pull from that mirror rather than repeatedly querying off-site lists.
CIQ targets four weak points in the legacy Enterprise Linux model at fleet scale: vendor-wide curation that is not tailored to the customer, every host checking the same external list on its own, manual staging between dev and production, and custom RPMs that sit outside the curated repository and need hand-managed updates.
