Satellite allows system s administrators to deploy, manage and monitor Red Hat Linux and Solaris operating system Solaris hosts. Satellite can be thought of as a local version of Red Hat Network . An organisation s Satellite server registers with Red Hat Network and downloads relevant software into Satellite s software channels. The organisation s hosts then register against the local Satellite server, instead of directly against Red Hat Network. This allows the organisation to control which versions of software are available for its hosts as well as making additional software available to their hosts. Recent versions emphasise virtualisation and add features, particularly XML RPC API features for deploying and managing virtual hosts. Deploy Satellite offers numerous methods for deploying hosts, including simple kickstart , bare metal install and re images.
