SL Corporation has expanded its coverage of Oracle technologies with the release of its Connector for Oracle Enterprise Manager. This new connector collects performance and diagnostics data directly from Oracle Enterprise Manager and enables application owners and support teams to view these metrics as part of an end-to-end view of application health and performance.
The Connector for Oracle Enterprise Manager rounds out the existing real-time monitoring capabilities of SL’s Solution Packages for Oracle Coherence, Oracle WebLogic and Oracle Database, which form the core technology platform for many mission-critical applications or enterprise Platform as a Service (PaaS).
As these critical applications become more complex, gaining real-time visibility and insight becomes both more critical and more difficult. When application downtime means a significant loss of revenue, it is imperative to have a monitoring solution in place that can instantly assess application health and performance across all tiers and vendors.
“Our investment in the Oracle platform greatly enhances our customer’s ability to monitor their most important and valuable custom applications” said Ted Wilson, COO at SL. “When coupled with our native monitoring of TIBCO, IBM, VMware and even open source technologies like Tomcat and MySQL, our deep support for Oracle products delivers true end-to-end visibility.”
SL’s RTView Enterprise Monitor product is an easy to use, easy to configure application monitor that uses pluggable solution packages to monitor multi-tier, multi-vendor application environments. Using pre-built dashboards and pre-defined alerts, RTView Enterprise Monitor is ideal for application support teams, developers and architects that need to maintain platform service levels and monitor resource utilization to support growing enterprise demands.
The Connector for Oracle Enterprise Manager simplifies data collection from your Oracle database and WebLogic servers by utilizing Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) diagnostic data to collect health and performance metrics. OEM is commonly used to manage Oracle technology at the component level and doesn’t always provide visibility across components. RTView Enterprise Monitor augments OEM’s data collection capability with dynamic correlation across tiers and vendors, historical analytics and advanced visualization dashboards.
The Solution Package for Oracle Coherence provides real-time performance analysis of Oracle Coherence environments at the node, cluster and application level. It monitors workload distribution, historical performance trends, resource usage, hotspots and bottlenecks while providing real-time alerts beyond the capabilities of OEM.
The Solution Package for Oracle WebLogic provides powerful, intuitive operational intelligence for large scale WebLogic environments at the server, cluster and application levels. Users can quickly diagnose complex issues like cluster load balancing or performance anomalies and then drill down to the exact server, JVM, connection or thread pool. WebLogic server performance can also be correlated with hosts, virtual machines, networks, databases or message queues.
The Solution Package for Oracle Database collects health and performance information at near-time intervals that enables you to diagnose transient problems through the use of historical trends graphs. This tool is particularly suited to application support teams that don’t have deep DBA skills but rather need to diagnose database problems in the context of the overall application.

Like most digital transformation shifts, organizations often prioritize productivity and leave security and observability to keep pace. This usually translates to both the mass implementation of new technology and fragmented monitoring and observability (M&O) tooling. In the era of AI and varied cloud architecture, a disparate observability function can be dangerous. IT teams will lack a complete picture of their IT environment, making it harder to diagnose issues while slowing down mean time to resolve (MTTR). In fact, according to recent data from the SolarWinds State of Monitoring & Observability Report, 77% of IT personnel said the lack of visibility across their on-prem and cloud architecture was an issue ...
In MEAN TIME TO INSIGHT Episode 23, Shamus McGillicuddy, VP of Research, Network Infrastructure and Operations, at EMA discusses the NetOps labor shortage ...
Technology management is evolving, and in turn, so is the scope of FinOps. The FinOps Foundation recently updated their mission statement from "advancing the people who manage the value of cloud" to "advancing the people who manage the value of technology." This seemingly small change solidifies a larger evolution: FinOps practitioners have organically expanded to be focused on more than just cloud cost optimization. Today, FinOps teams are largely — and quickly — expanding their job descriptions, evolving into a critical function for managing the full value of technology ...
Enterprises are under pressure to scale AI quickly. Yet despite considerable investment, adoption continues to stall. One of the most overlooked reasons is vendor sprawl ... In reality, no organization deliberately sets out to create sprawling vendor ecosystems. More often, complexity accumulates over time through well-intentioned initiatives, such as enterprise-wide digital transformation efforts, point solutions, or decentralized sourcing strategies ...
Nearly every conversation about AI eventually circles back to compute. GPUs dominate the headlines while cloud platforms compete for workloads and model benchmarks drive investment decisions. But underneath that noise, a quieter infrastructure challenge is taking shape. The real bottleneck in enterprise AI is not processing power, it is the ability to store, manage and retrieve the relentless volumes of data that AI systems generate, consume and multiply ...
The 2026 Observability Survey from Grafana Labs paints a vivid picture of an industry maturing fast, where AI is welcomed with careful conditions, SaaS economics are reshaping spending decisions, complexity remains a defining challenge, and open standards continue to underpin it all ...
The observability industry has an evolving relationship with AI. We're not skeptics, but it's clear that trust in AI must be earned ... In Grafana Labs' annual Observability Survey, 92% said they see real value in AI surfacing anomalies before they cause downtime. Another 91% endorsed AI for forecasting and root cause analysis. So while the demand is there, customers need it to be trustworthy, as the survey also found that the practitioners most enthusiastic about AI are also the most insistent on explainability ...
In the modern enterprise, the conversation around AI has moved past skepticism toward a stage of active adoption. According to our 2026 State of IT Trends Report: The Human Side of Autonomous AI, nearly 90% of IT professionals view AI as a net positive, and this optimism is well-founded. We are seeing agentic AI move beyond simple automation to actively streamlining complex data insights and eliminating the manual toil that has long hindered innovation. However, as we integrate these autonomous agents into our ecosystems, the fundamental DNA of the IT role is evolving ...
AI workloads require an enormous amount of computing power ... What's also becoming abundantly clear is just how quickly AI's computing needs are leading to enterprise systems failure. According to Cockroach Labs' State of AI Infrastructure 2026 report, enterprise systems are much closer to failure than their organizations realize. The report ... suggests AI scale could cause widespread failures in as little as one year — making it a clear risk for business performance and reliability.
The quietest week your engineering team has ever had might also be its best. No alarms going off. No escalations. No frantic Teams or Slack threads at 2 a.m. Everything humming along exactly as it should. And somewhere in a leadership meeting, someone looks at the metrics dashboard, sees a flat line of incidents and says: "Seems like things are pretty calm over there. Do we really need all those people?" ... I've spent many years in engineering, and this pattern keeps repeating ...
