Oracle Enterprise Manager

Some of you may notice that I have been awfully quiet on this blog lately. You may wonder – did something happen to this guy? Well, I am still here at Oracle. The reason why I have not done much writing recently is because I have been head down working with my colleagues to ship a new release and to plan for the next ones.

I am happy to say that the new release of Oracle Enterprise Manager 10gR5 is going to be released real soon. I can't talk about what is in the product just yet, but I can tell you that it is chock-full of goodies that we believe will please everyone from application administrators to DBAs to CIOs and even the business sponsors of your applications. If you really want to find out what the release has in store for you, tune in to our product launch webcast on Tuesday, March 3 at 9 a.m. PST. Our fearless leader, Richard Sarwal, will host this event. After the webcast, come back to this blog to get more “inside scope” on the product.

See you next Tuesday.

Quite a few people have asked us about our management packs, so we are going to dedicate the next several sessions on these packs. Please register using the links below.

There are separate voice and web conferences to listen in and see the slides and demos, so be sure to sign on both at the day of the event. The same "AMP" passcode is applicable to both voice and web conferences. Please check the email reminder for additional instructions for attending the events.
