Oracle has extended the configuration management capabilities of its Enterprise Manager to simplify configuration management, improve service levels and enforce compliance for business-critical applications.
According to the company, these new features join other recently announced configuration management capabilities in its Enterprise Manager, including change detection; policies for key industry standards and best practices; and compliance reporting.
Richard Sarwal, senior vice president of product development at Oracle, said:
Tracking and managing the dependencies between application components and their associated configurations are some of the most extreme challenges in today’s IT environments. Oracle Enterprise Manager’s new application configuration management capabilities can help customers achieve solid control over such challenges helping customers to increase operating efficiencies while improving service levels and reducing management costs.
The company said that the new offering adds integral capabilities that help customers identify IT assets and enable them to meet industry and regulatory compliance requirements, in addition, allow them to utilise existing IT investments. Also, with more than 100 Oracle and non-Oracle configuration management templates, including templates for Linux, Microsoft SQL Server and IBM WebSphere, customers can implement configuration management across the entire application deployment lifecycle.
Reportedly, its 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, to simplify the management of the application environments.
