Managing Data Center disorder with OEM 13C and Ops Center
Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud (13C) is the latest version of Oracle’s Enterprise Manager. This version installed centrally on dedicated server and used for managing and monitoring the entire Oracle and non-Oracle technology stacks, with an agent placed on each target that OEM 13C is to manage and monitor.
OEM13C can do application-to-disk monitoring and management. It means that it manages and monitors everything from application down to the database, middleware, virtual machine, server, network and storage (disk) level.
OEM 13c and Ops Center has been designed to simplify end-to-end physical and virtual server operations from initial provisioning through life cycle to decommissioning. OEM 13c and Ops Center enable IT system administrators to automate many routine provisioning, patching, and compliance management process. It can support heterogeneous physical server environments running Solaris, Linux, Unix and Microsoft Windows operating systems on bare metal hardware or virtualisation and Solaris Containers.
The following is a short list of OEM 13C and Ops Center can manage and monitor:
-
Oracle databases 12c and 19c
-
Oracle Fusion Middleware Suite
-
Oracle SOA suite
-
Oracle WebLogic Server
-
Siebel application
-
E-Business Suite
-
People Soft
-
JD Edwards Enterprise
-
Oracle VM
-
VMWare
-
Third party databases (Microsoft SQL Server, Sybase, IBM DB2)
-
Operating systems (Linux, Unix, IBM AIX, HP-UX and Windows)
-
Backup and restore database and server
-
Network switches/routers/Firewalls/F5/Load Balancer/ network devices
-
SAN storage EMC/NetApps/ZFS
All non-Oracle hardware and software monitoring and management are done through Enterprise Manager Plugins. These plug-ins are written by Oracle or third-party vendors. Some Plug-ins are dependent on one another; for example, the Oracle Cloud Applications plug-in is dependent on the Oracle visualization plug-in. The advantage of this pluggable framework is that the 13C can be updated fast to manage a new technology, for example, if a new WebLogic version is released tomorrow, the current version of OEM 13C should be able to manage and monitor it by sample updating the latest version of the plug-in using self-update feature. It means that the plug-in revised separately from the core framework of OEM 13C.
OEM 13C extends capability to the business layer and able to define and manage business transactions on services across a service bus. It can be used to set up the entire Infrastructure for the cloud – where the cloud is
