Oracle Enterprise Manager 13c Cloud Control

This book was written as an example of customers implementing this product and decision points outlining why certain decisions were made. What you will find in this book are steps for performing tasks Enterprise Manager was built to perform resulting in streamlining business operations. Those operations include automated patching, job submission, notification methods, low level database monitoring, performance management, and many many other tasks teams of administration perform today. Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) is the quintessential product for monitoring and managing the entire technology stack. This product can monitor servers, applications, and most common databases (not just Oracle), and manage jobs possibly managed today by job scheduler packages. Rest assured, the entire technology stack, including switches, routers, SAN's, etc. can be monitored using OEM. The true value of this publication is the content presented based on decisions companies made to address their monitoring and action needs. Why they made the decisions are also included in the book. Best practices are included to assist in making better decisions going forward. Another gem OEM brings is the ability to schedule, monitor, and troubleshoot repeatable processes. This is important, especially for companies with large and/or distributed server farms. The most hardened auditors can be satisfied with the greatest ease because they can be granted access to data collected and configurable reporting. Extreme functionality and transparency are paramount to a successful business all from one source of truth.
