Introduces Advancements in Cloud Lifecycle and Operations Management

Kuala Lumpur, 12 July 2013 - Oracle Corporation (NASDAQ: ORCL), the world's No.1 database solution provider, today announces the availability of Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c Release 3 to further extending its leadership in cloud computing.

Cloud adoption is on the rise across many industries as organizations are seeking the agility benefits inherent in cloud computing. However, private and public cloud service providers are not able to take full advantage of cloud because of inefficiencies in IT management.

Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c Release 3 addresses these challenges with new enhancements for managing infrastructure, middleware, and applications, allowing IT service providers to be more agile while further reducing the costs and complexity of their cloud and enterprise IT environments.

The new Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c R3 fully supports the Oracle Database12c that was recently launched in early July. It introduces unique capabilities for deploying and managing business applications in an enterprise private cloud, such as Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), enhanced business application management, and integrated hardware-software management for Engineered Systems such as Oracle Exalytics In-Memory Machine and Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud.

The new Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c Release 3 capabilities are concentrated in key areas for fast growing enterprises looking to scale their IT environments, including: -

i) Richer management for Cloud and Engineered Systems
ii) Expanded Middleware and Application Management Capabilities
iii) Efficiency Gains through Enhancements to the Underlying Management Framework

“As organizations are increasingly deploying clouds, cloud service providers are facing a number of management challenges,” said Sushil Kumar, vice president Product Strategy and Business Development, Oracle. “With these new enhanced features we are enabling cloud service providers to increase the efficiency and agility of their cloud environments. Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c Release 3 advances the state of the art in cloud management for service providers.”
