challenges
! No
out-­‐of-­‐the-­‐box
EM12c
integra8on
with
VMware
! Lack
of
awareness
of
cri7cal
VMware
alarms/alerts
in
real-­‐7me
! Tradi7onal
OS
performance
counters
are
inaccurate
in
a
VMware
VM
! Oracle
admins
forced
to
become
VMware
vCenter
Console
experts
! Inability
to
provision
VMware
VMs
from
with
EM12c
! Inability
to
exploit
Oracle
MwaaS
and
DBaaS
on
VMware
! You

9. Why
does
VMware

ma]er?
! Eliminates
finger
poin7ng
between
Oracle,
VMware
team,
and
Storage
teams
! Enables
faster
7me
to

! Stop

to
tell
you
if
there
is
problem

not
! Provides

! Designed

! No
