Oracle Extends Oracle® Enterprise Manager's Support for Heterogeneous IT Environments
Adds Six New System Monitoring Plug-Ins to Extend Top-Down Application Management Offering
REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., April 10 -- Oracle today announced six new System Monitoring Plug-Ins for Oracle® Enterprise Manager, an integrated enterprise management solution
spanning applications, middleware and database management for customers
running packaged applications and Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)
applications built on Oracle software and non-Oracle systems.
o With its unique top-down approach, Oracle Enterprise Manager delivers
an end-to-end perspective on the health of business applications. It
actively monitors and manages Oracle software, providing proactive
diagnostics, automated remediation and lifecycle automation; and it
provides comprehensive monitoring for many co-existing non-Oracle
technologies.
o Oracle Enterprise Manager Plug-Ins extend the core product's
capabilities beyond the Oracle platform, allowing customers to reduce
the number of tools administrators need to monitor and manage complex
heterogeneous IT environments while helping to reduce costs.
o The new System Monitoring Plug-Ins include plug-ins for: Microsoft
Exchange, EMC CLARiiON CX, VMware ESX, Apache Tomcat, Sybase Adaptive
Server, and SAP Applications.
o Developed in conjunction with third-party vendors, the newly available
plug-ins leverage Oracle Enterprise Manager's plug-in framework which
uses open, standards-based technologies with published application
programming interfaces.
o Additionally, 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.
o Oracle Enterprise Manager System Monitoring Plug-Ins for Microsoft
Exchange, EMC CLARiiON CX, VMware ESX, Sybase ASE and Apache Tomcat are
available for download on the Oracle Technology Network at:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/oem/extensions/index.html.
Terms, conditions and restrictions apply.
o The Nimsoft NimBUS System Monitoring Plug-In for SAP is available from
Nimsoft. For more information visit: http://www.nimsoft.com/.
