Oracle is set to help customers make sense of IT management even for the most complex environments with extensions made for both Oracle Enterprise Manager and MySQL Enterprise Edition.

The new extensions for Oracle Enterprise Manager allow users to manage MySQL environments on top of the ones that they are currently managing.  In short, you can now monitor and manage MySQL Enterprise Edition using Oracle Enterprise Manager.  Now, you only need to look at one console to manage all your applications that rely on MySQL.
