Oracle unveils extended system management plug-ins
Oracle has added six new system monitoring plug-ins to Oracle Enterprise Manager – its integrated enterprise management solution spanning applications, middleware and database management – to extend its applicability in heterogeneous IT environments.
The organisation says it’s aimed at customers running packaged applications and service-oriented architecture (SOA) applications built on Oracle and third party systems.
Importantly, the new plug-ins allow users to cut costs and reduce the number of tools administrators need to monitor and manage such environments – with plug-ins for Microsoft Exchange, EMC CLARiiON CX, VMware ESX, Apache Tomcat, Sybase Adaptive Server and SAP Applications.
It’s also worth noting that there are enhancements to existing system monitoring plug-ins for IBM DB2, Microsoft SQL Server, Juniper Network’s Netscreen Firewall and Check Point Firewall are now available.
