The FINANCIAL — On June 29, Oracle extended the comprehensive configuration management capabilities of Oracle Enterprise Manager. The new features focus on managing application configurations.
The added capabilities help to further simplify configuration management, improve service levels and enforce compliance for business-critical applications.
These new features join other recently announced configuration management capabilities in Oracle Enterprise Manager, including real-time change detection; policies for key industry standards and best practices; and comprehensive compliance reporting.
Oracle Enterprise Manager's “top-down” approach to application management enables customers to reduce complexity and increase efficiencies in their IT environments and optimally run their enterprise applications.
Providing a Broad Configuration Management Solution
The new features add integral capabilities that contribute to four key areas of Oracle Enterprise Manager's comprehensive configuration management solution.
Discovery and tracking of IT assets and components – helps customers identify IT assets and their relationships to quickly remediate configuration issues;
Simplified management – with a rich portfolio of more than 100 Oracle and non-Oracle configuration management templates, including templates for Linux, Microsoft SQL Server and IBM WebSphere, customers can more efficiently implement configuration management across the entire application deployment lifecycle;
Real-time change detection of unauthorized changes – enables customers to easily meet industry and regulatory compliance requirements;
Easy integration in complex environments – allows customers to fully utilize existing IT investments, for example, by enabling closed-loop reconciliation on change requests across heterogeneous IT environments.
Going Beyond Today’s Configuration Management Solutions
Oracle Enterprise Manager goes beyond current configuration management solutions to provide unique insight into the Oracle software stack, enabling the deepest and richest configuration capabilities for Oracle products out-of-the-box.
Advanced template-driven application configuration management – includes more than 30 application templates including templates for Oracle's Siebel, Oracle's PeopleSoft, Oracle Database, Oracle WebLogic Server – simplifies the management of even the most sophisticated application environments;
Real-time configuration change detection – forms the basis of a robust compliance framework, with out-of-box policies for popular industry and regulatory compliance requirements, helping to enforce corporate standards and mitigate risks with automated IT compliance controls;
Complete configuration management of virtual environments – accelerates the adoption of virtualization technologies while maintaining firm control over physical IT configurations.
