While organizations spend millions of dollars investing in key technologies to run their business, the success of a business service is only as solid as the technology upon which it relies. As a result, Tripwire, the leading provider of configuration assessment and change auditing solutions, today announced a new configuration assessment policy that helps ensure Oracle Database 10g deployments meet best-practice guidelines for performance and availability.
Tripwire Enterprise's Oracle Database 10g Operational Policy includes tests that assess the strength of the Oracle Database management system, assessing both database availability and performance. This policy builds on Tripwire Enterprise's best-of-breed configuration assessment capabilities, which assist users running Oracle Database on Windows and Solaris systems, helping to ensure a secure, compliant state.
Oracle infrastructure offers customers ease of use, scalability and high availability. Through membership in the Oracle PartnerNetwork, partners like Tripwire can leverage Oracle's grid technology to provide customers with the benefits of an enterprise grid infrastructure, enabling them to adapt easily to changing business requirements. Oracle's grid vision -- standardization, consolidation, virtualization, automation (coordinating the use of many small servers to act as one large computer to run business applications) -- helps provide immediate benefits to Oracle customers such as improved performance and lower management costs.
Database performance is measured by the amount of time it takes to complete standard database transactions. With mission-critical applications depending on transactions, organizations seeking to maximize productivity and ensure a healthy bottom line must be able to rely on database management systems that perform efficiently. They also need to know that their databases will be consistently available and reliable.
"Many of our customers depend on Oracle as the foundation of their business infrastructure," said Dwayne Melancon, Vice President of Corporate and Business Development. "We're pleased to be able to provide a solution that helps them become more efficient and effective in maintaining trustworthy configurations for their Oracle Database 10g environments."
Tripwire continuously monitors an organization's IT environment to ensure that all configurations conform with industry benchmarks and best practices, automatically notifying staff when IT settings need to be reconfigured to meet internal and external policy requirements. For IT environments using Oracle Database 10g, Tripwire Enterprise runs multiple tests to enable the system to meet best practice guidelines. When tests fail, Tripwire provides remediation steps that can be followed to put the system into its optimal state.
In addition to providing support for Oracle's operational policies, Tripwire automatically detects unauthorized, non-compliant change to enterprise-wide systems and virtual environments and immediately alerts IT staff so that exceptions to change and release management policies can be immediately updated and investigated. This approach enables organizations to better manage risk by providing continuous, automated compliance across their environment.
Tripwire is a member of the Oracle PartnerNetwork.
