Oracle Extends Enterprise Manager Control to MySQL and Adds MySQL Extensions

Oracle is extending Oracle Enterprise Manager management and monitoring capabilities to MySQL open source databases. The extension means that MySQL customers can manage complex deployments of Oracle technologies that include MySQL, either on-premises or in a cloud, while existing users of Oracle Enterprise Manager can now more easily add MySQL to their environments. Oracle is also announcing new commercial extensions for MySQL Enterprise Edition, including new backup, auditing, and enterprise encryption capabilities. 

 

Enterprise Manager enables both IT organizations and public cloud service providers to manage on-premises deployments as well as private and public clouds powered by Oracle technologies, including MySQL. It also provides an easy path for existing users of Oracle Enterprise Manager to adopt MySQL.

 

With Oracle Enterprise Manager for MySQL Database, customers can do auto-discovery of MySQL targets, availability monitoring, configuration and metrics collection,  use erformance dashboards, and configure thresholds.

 
MySQL Enterprise Edition customers can download Oracle Enterprise Manager for MySQL Database, Release 5.5 and higher, which is available on Oracle Linux and other Linux distributions, Microsoft Windows, and Oracle Solaris.

The new 5.7 MySQL development milestone release (DMR) also extends the performance, scalability, and reliability of MySQL, while enhancing management capabilities.
