Chapter 6. Inter-Satellite Sync (ISS)
As an organization grows, so does complexity of the deployed systems. Red Hat Network Satellite deployment can grow with your IT infrastructure. One capability that assists with managing scale and complexity is the deployment of multiple RHN Satellites configured to communicate with each other. Each Satellite manages a segment of an organization's deployment, minimizing the inefficiencies of both massive scaling and dispersed data centers. With multiple Satellites, an organization can infinitely scale upward, allow semi-autonomous management of IT segments, and ensure maximum management performance of systems closest to the managing Satellite while enforcing content standardization and life-cycle best practices.
RHN Satellite 5.3 supports synchronization between two Satellites. This synchronization, also called Inter-Satellite Sync, allows administrators to simplify the process of coordinating content from one RHN Satellite source to another or several others.
