Oracle announced the release of Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c at Oracle Open World last week at San Francisco. While majority of products from Oracle ends with letter ‘g’, the new product release ends with letter ‘c’. c stands for Cloud. Let’s see how Oracle will handle the remaining ‘g’s in the coming days.
Richard Sarwal, Head of product development at Oracle says "OEM12c is quite a transformatory product. It has about 200 major features into this release of the product and over 500 enhancement requests were done."
Due to the enormous attention OEM gains these days among Oracle customers, I am eager to pen a couple of lines on this upgrade. I will soon install this product and update the blog with screen shots.
Let’s see some of the new cool features of OEM 12c.
First, Cloud! OEM 12c provides complete cloud lifecycle management and Integrated cloud stack management.
Complete Cloud life cycle management consists of
- Dynamic Resource Modeling for Cloud
- Prerequisite Check
- Consolidation Planning
- Resource and Capacity Planning
- Bare Metal to Cloud Ready
- Application Modeling for Cloud
- Dynamic Resource and Power Management
- Self Service Provisioning
- Metering and Chargeback
Using OEM 12c console, Administrators can
- · Schedule Oracle VM availability for power management
- · Migrate Guest VM's to other hosts
- · View Cloud Infrastructure graphically
- · Policy based control for Shared Resources
- · Allocate Quotas
- · Catalogue of virtual machines, databases, Applications, OS
- · Automatic target discovery
Apart from the above Cloud and Virtualization support functionality, there are several new features related to Frame work, Incident Management, Monitoring and Diagnostics. See below my observations
1) Management features for Oracle Products now provided via plug-ins
2) Administrator can customize the look and feel of OEM 12c console to meet the specific needs
3) Administration of Management Agents as group
4) Integration with Oracle BI Publisher to provide various kind of reports

14) Oracle Fusion Applications backup and recovery
15) New diagnostic snapshot feature captures Oracle WebLogic Server and JVM data and packages for later analysis.
16) Centralized and Secure Credentials storage

18) Improved Monitoring and Diagnostics
19) Cache Data Management for Coherence to save the queries for future reference
