CUPERTINO, Calif., March 1, 2007 – Blue Lane Technologies today announced a new management plug-in available for the latest release of Oracle® Enterprise Manager 10g.

Blue Lane is a member of Oracle PartnerNetwork.

 

"Oracle understands the increasing need to identify security vulnerabilities and having the ability to effectively apply patches in a production environment," said Will Scelzo, director of Business Development, System Management Products at Oracle. "Oracle Enterprise Manager offers a comprehensive solution for analyzing and patching the Oracle application environment.
