REDWOOD CITY, Calif.,
Jan. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- To
help customers easily move Oracle Databases to the cloud and
simplify management of hybrid cloud environments, Oracle announced
significant enhancements to its enterprise management platform,
Oracle Enterprise Manager. The new release adds functionality that
automates database migration and provides a single dashboard that
improves visibility, control, and management for hybrid IT
environments.
Oracle Enterprise Manager's migration capabilities provide
unprecedented flexibility and ease of use to accelerate and
simplify the transition to the cloud. Since most large
organizations have to move multiple databases to the cloud over an
extended period of time, it's critical to have a cloud migration
solution that eliminates the timing and pricing pressures typical
with other vendor's rigid migration solutions.
"As organizations move to the cloud, they are faced with
complex, time-consuming, manual, error-prone migration tasks," said
Wim Coekaerts, senior vice president, Software Development, Oracle.
"Only Oracle provides Autonomous Cloud services, as well as the
tools and migration services to help customers easily move to the
cloud. Oracle Enterprise Manager removes the complexity with highly
automated, guided migrations and provides a single dashboard for
easily managing hybrid cloud environments."
"IDC's research shows that well over 90 percent of major
enterprises rely on a mix of on-premises IT, dedicated cloud
environments and public cloud services, and are seeking efficient
ways to onboard, monitor, and manage across these hybrid
environments," said Mary Johnston
Turner, IDC Research vice president for Cloud Management.
"Enterprise cloud management leaders tell us that analytics is
their number one priority, since the scale and complexity of hybrid
and multi-cloud operations requires robust automation that is
informed by deep performance and optimization intelligence."
Built for Hybrid Environments
Oracle Enterprise Manager provides enhancements in three key
areas to help enterprises more easily manage hybrid database
environments, including:
- Intelligent Analytics: New intelligent analytics
provided by the Exadata Warehouse enable users to maximize
performance and utilization of Oracle Database and Exadata
environments on-premises or in the cloud via improved capacity
planning and forecasting. Additionally, the new version improves
visibility of the entire hybrid estate through comprehensive
monitoring and management for Oracle's latest technology, including
Autonomous Database and Exadata Cloud Service.
- Comprehensive Lifecycle Automation and Control:
Advancements in lifecycle automation and control enable enterprises
to easily adopt Autonomous Database and Exadata Cloud Service and
improve their security posture.
- Mobility and Security: New comprehensive security
controls include fleet maintenance support for Transparent Data
Encryption, improved compliance monitoring, fine-grained control of
on-premises fleets, and new security standards for Oracle Database
18c and 19c. The new functionality also provides
access to a new mobile app and new Grafana plug-in for rich
visualization of Oracle Enterprise Manager data.
Additionally, Oracle is expanding deployment and access choices
for Oracle Enterprise Manager. DBAs can now deploy Oracle
Enterprise Manager on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure using Oracle
best-practices for high availability, capitalizing on Oracle
Enterprise Manager features while enjoying the benefits of a cloud
deployment.
In addition, Oracle announced
today that Oracle Enterprise Manager has been certified by the
Center for Internet Security Benchmarks to compare the
configuration status of Oracle Databases against the
consensus-based best practice standards contained in the Oracle
12c Benchmark v2.1.0, Level 1- RDBMS. Organizations that use
Oracle Enterprise Manager can now ensure that the configurations of
their critical assets align with the CIS Benchmarks consensus-based
practice standards.
Organizations Benefit from Highly Automated Capabilities,
Easy Migration to Cloud
"We depend on Oracle Enterprise Manager to optimize our Oracle
Database and Exadata fleet, which provides a mission-critical
shared service for all of our most important business functions,"
said Jones John, Database Services
Manager, Technology and Innovation Division at Link
Group. "The latest release of Oracle Enterprise Manager allows
us to adopt the newest Exadata X8 environments without delay, and
to continue to use Oracle Enterprise Manager's comprehensive
management automation capabilities across our entire hybrid
database fleet."
"Our key public sector and commercial customers and our own
experts use Oracle Enterprise Manager every day to manage their
Oracle Database and Exadata fleet," said Erik Benner, Vice President, Transformation at
Mythics, an Oracle Cloud partner. "The new Oracle Enterprise
Manager functionality to ease migration to Autonomous Database and
to apply machine learning analytics to their Oracle Enterprise
Manager data is precisely what is needed to help ensure they can
continue to operate seamlessly across their entire Database
fleet."
