Oracle said its management software suite will soon
care for the company’s E-Business Suite, PeopleSoft Enterprise, and Siebel
business applications.
Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g provides service level management,
configuration management and remediation for its applications to solve
problems that could bring an enterprise resource planning or supply chain
management system down.
The software suite was originally created to automate management for
applications running on Oracle and non-Oracle databases and middleware.
By extending management to its other applications, the company is moving
close to the integration goals it promised upon acquiring PeopleSoft and
Siebel Systems in the last few years.
The management pack will be ready for PeopleSoft Enterprise within 30 days;
the other two will be ready in the spring of 2007.
The PeopleSoft pack will help administrators start, stop and purge cache
from the console, and it can carry out configuration management tasks. The pack
also offers alerts, automatic performance data collection and trending,
blackout windows and templates.
Management software is one of those sweet spots for enterprises whose IT
departments are stretched to the limit from too few staffers and
constrained budgets.
