Enterprise Manager Grid Control For Windows Now Available
August 23rd, 2004 by Mark Rittman
Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Control for Windows is now
available for download from OTN.
Enterprise Manager Grid Control is a browser-based version of
Oracle Enterprise Manager, with administrators logging into a management
repository and then going on to manage multiple databases and application
servers. The web-based version of Enterprise Manager that comes as part of the
normal 10g install only manages that particular database, whilst the Grid
Control version is capable of managing thousands of separate instances, managed
as part of a computing ‘grid’. The idea is, that each database and application
server takes care of much of it’s own maintenance and tuning, and the EM Grid
Control makes it easy to manage, patch and report on servers ‘en-masse’,
allowing a single DBA to manage a large number of low-cost, commodity servers as
if they were just a single computing resource.
More details on EM Grid Control can be found on the
OTN product
page, and in the Oracle white paper
Managing the Complete Oracle Environment with Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g.
