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.
