    Oracle Enterprise Manager is Oracles integrated enterprise IT management product line, and provides the industrys first complete cloud lifecycle management solution. Oracle Enterprise Managers Business-Driven IT Management capabilities allow you to quickly set up, manage and support enterprise clouds and traditional Oracle IT environments from applications to disk. Enterprise Manager allows customers to achieve best service levels for traditional and cloud applications through management from a business perspective including for Oracle Fusion Applications, provide maximum return on IT management investment through the best solutions for intelligent management of the Oracle stack and engineered systems and gain unmatched customer support experience through real-time integration of Oracles knowledgebase with each customer environment.
    Cloud Management
    Enterprise Cloud has arrived. The 2010 IOUG Survey on Cloud Computing states that a top benefit expected from private cloud adoption is cost savings through standardization for operational efficiency. The survey also states In this survey, more than half of the advanced deployers (with more than 10 services) say their greatest challenge is adequately provisioning server capacity to meet the new demands of the cloud,... These findings clearly demonstrate that without proper management capabilities, expected economic benefits of cloud computing will not be realized. Oracle Enterprise Manager is Oracles premiere cloud management solution. It is the industrys first complete solution including self-service provisioning balanced against centralized, policy-based resource management, integrated chargeback and capacity planning and complete visibility of the physical and virtual environment from applications to disk.

    deployment of standard database configurations


    Single console to manage entire Cloud

    lifecycle plan, setup, deliver, operate


    Prevent resource hogging by setting

    quotas for individual users


    Forecast future resource needs by

    analyzing trending reports

    performance and configuration metrics

    Database as a Service (DBaaS)


    Oracle Cloud Management Pack for Oracle Database delivers capabilities spanning the entire Database cloud lifecycle. It lets Cloud administrators identify pooled resources, configure role-based access, define the service catalog, and the related chargeback plans. It allows Cloud users to request database services, and consume them on-demand. It also allows for users to scale-up and down their platforms to adapt to changes in workload. Finally, it lets both parties to understand the costs of the service delivered, and establish accountability for consumption of resources.

    Cloud Consolidation Planning and Setup


    To build a cloud, administrators must first understand what their existing resources are and their utilization. Enterprise Manager automatically discovers their infrastructure and its topology, and helps then understand the current workloads in the environment. Administrators can then use Consolidation Planner capability to run different scenarios for redistributing workloads onto existing systems or new environments (what if scenario), and determine if this will result in SLA violations. These scenarios can be tested either on Commercial OffThe-Shelf (COTS) hardware or engineered systems like Exadata v2. The key benefit of cloud computing is to enable faster deployment of typical platforms by moving away from admin driven provisioning to end user driven. Enterprise Manager allows administrators to - pool resources, standardize and automate deployment processes, publish established templates to service catalog, setup role-based access and privileges, set quotas to limit over-consumption, establish policies for scale-up and scale-down, and retirement, and enable metering and optional chargeback on consumed resources.

    Self Service Application


    Enterprise Manager ships with an out-of-box Self-service portal that allows developers, testers, DBAs, and other self service users to log on and request new single instance (SI) and Real Application Clusters (RAC) databases, as well as perform lifecycle operations like start/stop, status and health monitoring, etc on them. One can also deploy Virtual Assemblies containing databases on an Oracle VM virtualized server infrastructure. The portal provides access to a service catalog which lists various published service templates for standardized database configuration and versions. Users can review their past and outstanding requests, resource quotas, current utilization as well as Chargeback information for the databases they own. The portal also allows users to automatically backup their databases on a daily basis or take on demand backups. User can restore the database to any of these backups. The Selfservice portal is the users view into the Cloud, thus it is designed to be easy to use and yet useful. The portal is also backed by CLI and API that can be used to request and manage cloud resources in lieu of the user interface.

    Metering and Chargeback


    A critical aspect of Cloud delivery is the ability to establish usage cost for consuming cloud resources, and metering actual usage to deliver Chargeback reports. Enterprise Manager provides tools for defining detailed Chargeback plans spanning different metrics collected for each type of resources as well as defining Cost Centers for grouping costs across multiple developers. Chargeback plans can use not only usage based costs, but also configurationbased costs (e.g. version of the platform) or fixed costs (e.g. flat-rate management fee). Chargeback has rich out of the box reports. Trending reports show how charge and resource consumption varies over time, while Summary reports show the breakdown of charges or usage by different dimensions such as Cost Center or Target Type. These reports help consumers in understanding how their charges relate to their consumption and also assist the IT department with budgeting and planning activities. With BI Publisher, the reports can be made available in a variety of formats such as PDF, HTML, Word, Excel or PowerPoint.

    Performance and Availability Monitoring


    One of the top concerns IT managers have before moving business critical applications to cloud is performance and reliability of the application. Enterprise Manager provides a rich solution for monitoring the health of resources in the cloud. Incident console allows administrators to view, diagnose, and resolve incidents with the host, database or any other dependencies with the physical or virtual infrastructure. Cloud administration console provides insight into resource flux, request throughput, failure rates, and available resources. Trending reports show the variance in resource consumption and thus allows for capacity planning for future needs.

    Oracle Database as a Service with Enterprise Manager


    Enterprise Manager provides the most comprehensive solution for rolling out an Oracle-based Database as a Service Cloud for users in an enterprise. It offers the broadest and the most complete set of capabilities to build, deploy and manage the end-to-end lifecycle of the cloud, all from a single console. The pre-integrated, unified solution ensures that enterprises can adopt the Cloud quickly without having to invest in manual scripting or multiple point tools.
