Definition of element management:
Element management tools are the control consoles and utilities used by operations and infrastructure staff.
The common characteristic of such tools is their support for the most detailed non-programming work in IT management: - network administration
- database administration
- middleware administration
- storage administration
- operations management (where not otherwise covered)
- and so forth
Element management tools represent important sources of information and visibility into complex IT operations, including resource unit costs, and the ability to integrate them is desirable.
