Centralized solution and server wont be on the same network , but each will have internet access Drac cards come with Compact Flash cards Bandwidth may not be quite fast and latency might be higher when connecting to the centralized solution.

You didn't specify what OS'es you deploy, but for Linux/Red Hat-like systems: PXE boot, Kickstart [1], Puppet [2], Bacula [3]. PXE/Kickstart/Puppet can be managed with Cobbler [4]. Foreman [5] is an alternative for managing Puppet hosts.
