SPLAT = Check Point SecurePlatform

SPLAT is just an operating system (basically a RedHat Linux hardened by Check Point and offered for free to all Check Point users to save license costs for Windows, Linux or Solaris that are also supported).

You say a SPLAT box manages your Nokias. What is running on SPLAT? A SmartCenter Server? Then it would make sense. Otherwise not. As SPLAT is just an OS, it can't do nothing else than providing a shell and running some applications.

So you don't need SPLAT on each appliance. However, it would be the recommended OS.
