New features add systems lifecycle management
for disconnected networks and streamline workflows through remote
execution and flexible provisioning
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open
source solutions, today announced the general availability of Red
Hat Satellite 6.2, its systems lifecycle management tool across
physical, virtual, and private and public cloud environments. Red
Hat Satellite 6.2 introduces remote execution and extends
capabilities for container management and security.
Red Hat Satellite 6.2 offers several new features,
including:
- Container host provisioning,
supporting and managing Red Hat’s lightweight container operating
system, Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host. Red Hat Satellite
supports enterprises who are migrating to a lightweight container
architecture, enabling them to run Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic
Hosts as a compute resource and directly deploy containers to Red
Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host. In addition, Red Hat Satellite
now supports the Open Container Initiative format and
registries.
- Remote execution, enabling users
to take multiple actions against a group of systems while
automating workflows. With these new capabilities, users can reboot
a system after a patch install, or conduct rolling upgrades across
hundreds of systems with the same ease and consistency as updating
a single system. New scheduling features and dashboards enhance
interaction with systems under Red Hat Satellite management,
bringing increased efficiency to its provisioning and discovery
processes.
- Support for disconnected
environments. Red Hat Satellite 6.2 provides the ability to
synchronize and export content from one Red Hat Satellite server to
another, a new feature designed for workloads that may require
systems management solutions to run disconnected from the Internet
for security purposes.
- Expanded capsule management. The
Red Hat Satellite Capsule Server, which provides federated services
especially helpful for scaling, can now provide deeper insight into
the health of the capsule, including service run statues from the
centralized Red Hat Satellite console. This enables administrators
to create various capsules in different geographic locations where
datacenters may be located.
- More flexible provisioning via
new discovery enhancements in Red Hat Satellite, helping
to simplify the process of building systems and enable end users to
more efficiently provision systems in secured environments where
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) and PXE (Preboot
Execution Environment) may not be available.
- Enhanced migration services via
the ability to import existing hosts running on any
version of Red Hat Satellite 5 or 6 thanks to new feature scripts
and automation capabilities. This bootstrap script automates the
process of registering systems to Satellite, reducing the steps
needed to add existing systems to Red Hat Satellite.
Availability
Red Hat Satellite 6.2 is now generally available to all Red Hat
Satellite customers with a valid subscription.

Joe Fitzgerald, vice president, Management, Red Hat
“With ever-changing business needs and the speed at which
technology is shifting, organizations need to efficiently manage
and more securely operate both their traditional and cloud-based
infrastructures. Red Hat Satellite 6.2 helps meet these needs with
increased scalability, support for offline environments as well as
enabling system administrators to more easily manage physical,
virtual, hybrid cloud and container environments.”
