Intelligent watchdogs send notification of system and database events. Network traffic is minimized through filtering of events, so only important information is reported. You can take corrective actions based upon a combination of events across multiple platforms and database systems. By correlating events from different systems, you can react intelligently to complex problems.

• Single workstation control point with easy-to-use graphical user interface

  A single workstation can be used to manage all your database systems on any platform. Your database management tools can be integrated seamlessly into the user interface, thus making it easier for your administrators to manage a complex database management system productively. The intuitive graphical user interface -- where operations are point-and-click and drag-and-drop -- enables administrators to perform tasks easily, without having to know the details of the different database management systems.
