Management software offered to Linux support customers

Back in October, Oracle announced a new support service called the Unbreakable Linux program. The service was touted as a viable alternative to Red Hat's support program, with the additional incentive that it also offered significant savings per system. The Unbreakable Linux program also went one step further than the Red Hat program. Instead of only supporting the latest Red Hat version of Linux, it also would support previous versions.

Now, Oracle has made participation in its Unbreakable Linux program somewhat more enticing. The company announced it will offer its Oracle Management Pack for Linux to members of its Unbreakable Linux support program at no additional cost. The Oracle Management Pack for Linux helps with Linux server lifecycle management. The software assists with provisioning, OS patching, server configuration management, policy management, server administration, and centralized OS job management.
