We have various products to stand inbetween, listed by increasing
sophistication:

SMT  - Subscription Management Tool

	Is an update proxy that mirrors the selected channels as-is
	and also handles proxying subscriptions.

SLMS - SUSE Lifecycle Management Server
	
	Mostly as SMT, but also allows picking and selecting patches
	and feeding in other channels.

and as you noted, SUSE Manager, which is a more push model large scale
management of servers.
