Red Hat Satellite 5.7 2015.4 is a management system that allows users to control updates, compliance, provisioning, and remote control of up to thousands of Red Hat Enterprise Linux servers from a single console. It retrieves update packages from Red Hat Network and deploys them to target servers, installing the same versions across server groups. The system can also rollback servers to snapshots and provide crash information for troubleshooting. Related products include Spacewalk for community versions and Oracle Spacewalk for Oracle Linux, while SUSE Manager performs similar functions for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.
