AT&T streamlines security processes with Oracle Enterprise Manager
The global telecom leader uses Oracle Enterprise Manager to monitor, manage, and secure its large fleet of databases, helping it maintain compliance.
“Oracle Enterprise Manager has automated the time-consuming task of managing and verifying password changes for more than 10,000 mission-critical Oracle databases. That has saved us thousands of hours and helps us protect information and meet security compliance requirements.”
AT&T is one of the world’s largest telecommunications providers, serving more than 100 million consumers and tens of thousands of business customers who require the highest levels of service and data security. The IT staff manages around 11,400 Oracle databases that host critical applications. Their work includes verifying error-prone password changes that require 15 minutes per database, thus taking the time of 1.5 full-time DBAs. After adopting Oracle Enterprise Manager, which is a part of OCI Observability and Management, the company automated the monitoring and managing of password changes, eliminated errors, saved thousands of hours, and helped staff focus on more strategic work. More importantly, AT&T is in a better position to meet its security compliance requirements across an ever-growing fleet of Oracle databases.
