We have a mixed environment of Linux, Solaris, and AIX, so being able to mange all three platform's configuration files, execute remote commands, and some of the software (we use quite a few RPM's on AIX for the F/OSS software that is not included with AIX).

Why wouldn't you just NIM?  I think you'd have a hard time making
spacewalk alt-disk aware for a start.  And that's just the first thing
that I thought of after about 5 seconds?  With Solaris, at least
there's a value-add because Solaris packaging is so horrible.
