Oracle VM Management Pack

The Oracle VM Management Pack provides a comprehensive management solution for end-to-end monitoring, configuration management, and lifecycle automation of virtualized infrastructure to capture and maximize the benefits of virtualization. The Oracle VM Management Pack helps customers accelerate the adoption of virtualization, enabling them to optimize IT resources, improve hardware utilization, streamline IT processes, and reduce costs without adding to the complexity and cost associated with multiple management tools.

Following is the summary of features of this pack:

• Manage virtual environments with an application perspective: Allows customers to quickly diagnose whether the root cause of a problem is in an application component, in a virtual resource, or in a physical resource; enabling efficient consolidation and optimization of data center resources through virtualization.
• Built-in configuration management: Enables administrators to easily track relationships between virtual infrastructure components and software to ensure quick problem resolution and configuration compliance.
• Lifecycle Automation: Automation spanning test, deployment, patching and maintenance capabilities, including provisioning of Oracle VM servers and guest virtual machines and live migration of guest virtual machines to other servers during server maintenance windows.
• Faster server and software rollout: Automates software deployment through Oracle VM Templates for packaged applications, middleware, database, and Oracle Enterprise Linux.
• High availability for virtual infrastructure: Provides enterprise-class capabilities such as server pooling, automatic load balancing and server failover, helping to ensure business continuity in the virtual environment, usually associated with traditional high-cost physical servers.
