Oracle
new grid management software
Posted: 14 September 2003
Oracle Corporation, the world’s largest enterprise software
company, today announced Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g, the industry’s
first software designed to manage Oracle enterprise grids.
The new software will help customers and partners reduce the cost
and complexity of managing business applications.
Customers already are beginning to take advantage of the cost savings
and performance enhancements offered by grid computing thanks to
the convergence of key technology trends, such as standardizing
on low-cost commodity hardware and consolidating servers into clusters.
Nevertheless, these new grid computing environments can make it
extraordinarily difficult for system administrators to manage using
traditional management tools. Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g directly
addresses these management demands.
Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g introduces automated management software
that provides a complete view of a company’s computing infrastructure.
System administrators can enforce policies, manage service levels,
and rebalance existing computing resources and applications as business
requirements change – with the highest quality of service.
"Oracle's Enterprise Manager 10g is designed specifically
for managing and monitoring the Oracle environment and adds real
value for Oracle's customers,” said Paul Mason, group vice
president of Infrastructure Software Research at IDC. "Perhaps
the most important attribute is that it comes preconfigured and
ready to use, so organizations can immediately benefit without having
to do upfront customization or configuration."
New Grid Software Transforms Data Into Valuable Information
As part of the Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g announcement, Oracle
today introduced Oracle Grid Control, new software designed to help
customers monitor and manage entire Oracle grid infrastructures
– from databases and applications to storage – all within
a single console.
Oracle Grid Control is the industry’s first grid management
product to recommend expert advice on how to better plan for capacity,
availability and performance needs within a grid.
At the core of Oracle Grid Control is a “control repository”
that contains performance, availability and configuration data about
the entire enterprise, as well as a set of centralized management
capabilities that transform and configure data into valuable information.
Using Oracle Grid Control, administrators can reduce the complexity
of managing multiple servers in a cluster and automate the management
of computing resources.
“Managing enterprise grids is a technology discipline that
encompasses architectural issues, people, processes and best practices,”
said Husam Dajani, Vice president, Server, Oracle Middle East. “Oracle
Enterprise Manager 10g is a product of Oracle’s world-class
data center management experience, delivering new levels of automation
and intelligence to help administrators increase productivity.”
Open and Extensible
Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g is built on an open, standards-based
architecture. It supports key management standards, including Common
Information Model (CIM) and Web-based Enterprise Management (WBEM)
developed by Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF).
Availability
Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g and Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g
Grid Control is scheduled to be available by the end of this year
on all supported platforms.
Members of Oracle Technology Network (OTN) will be able to download
the new management software free of charge at http://otn.oracle.com.
