REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., Oct. 6,
2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle today announced the Oracle
Cloud Observability and Management Platform, bringing together a
comprehensive set of management, diagnostic, and analytics services
that help customers eliminate the complexity, risk, and cost
associated with today's fragmented approach for managing multicloud
and on-premises environments. The Oracle Cloud Observability and
Management Platform is available in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
(OCI) and is the industry's most complete solution, consisting of a
suite of services that provide a unified view across the entire
software stack. It enables easy diagnostics of cloud-native and
traditional technologies deployed in the cloud or on-premises. With
built-in machine learning, it automatically detects anomalies and
enables quick remediation in near-real time. The platform has
adopted an open, standards-based approach that is vendor-agnostic,
supporting ecosystem interoperability out-of-the-box with Slack,
Grafana, Twilio, PagerDuty and others. Early customers include
Integra LifeSciences, Lone Star
College, Kingold, and Green, along with implementation
partners such as Wipro, Capgemini, and Mythics. Get started
here.
Customers' IT environments have evolved rapidly, but existing
monitoring and management offerings have not kept up with the
increasing complexity found with multicloud and on-premises IT
environments. In fact, Gartner estimates that more than a third of
organizations use 30 or more monitoring tools.i
Organizations have experienced a rise in the complexity and cost of
managing their existing infrastructure and a growing number of
emerging technologies such as Kubernetes, containers, converged
databases, and microservices. Instead of a collection of siloed and
fragmented tools, the Oracle Cloud Observability and Management
Platform provides customers with a comprehensive and connected
solution comprised of related services. This includes the newly
announced Logging, Logging Analytics, Database Management,
Application Performance Monitoring, Operations Insights and Service
Connector Hub services, as well as existing services such as
Monitoring, Notifications, Events, Functions, Streaming and OS
Management. Customers using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and Oracle
Dedicated Region Cloud@Customer have immediate access to the new
offering.
"Oracle has deep domain expertise in operating the largest
portfolio of SaaS and enterprise application environments. We also
manage the largest and most critical datasets for our customers,
and we develop and operate on-premises infrastructure, unlike other
cloud providers," said Clay
Magouyrk, executive vice president, Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure. "We are combining decades of experience with OCI to
provide end-to-end visibility for all layers of the IT stack.
Whether customers' apps are deployed on Oracle Cloud, Dedicated
Region Cloud@Customer, on-premises, or in other public clouds, we
are eliminating the complexity and reducing the risks and costs
associated with today's multi-tool approach to make the overall
management process highly intuitive and cost-effective."
The integrated platform aggregates all observability data for
holistic analysis and applies operations-optimized ML algorithms
that can identify anomalous system behavior, rapidly isolate and
remediate performance problems, and prevent outages by providing
accurate forecasting of impending issues. This information is
delivered in out-of-the-box and customer-designed dashboards with
cross-tier views that provide complete visibility across
applications, databases, infrastructure, and cloud environments.
The solution provides one-click instrumentation of all Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure resources, as well as providing visibility across
any technology deployed in Oracle Cloud, third-party clouds, and
on-premises systems.
"With the release of the new Oracle Cloud Observability and
Management Platform, Oracle delivers another industry first," said
Holger Mueller, vice president and
principal analyst, Constellation Research. "This end-to-end
approach for on-premises and multicloud management not only clearly
benefits customers, but also provides an open platform for partners
to plug in their offerings. The integrations with Grafana,
PagerDuty, and Slack, and support for standards from the Cloud
Native Computing Foundation such as CloudEvents and OpenTracing,
demonstrate Oracle's commitment to interoperability."
Comprehensive Visibility is a Game Changer for
Customers
This new platform enables customers to maximize
the performance and availability of their mission-critical
applications. It does this by providing complete visibility across
the application landscape, using advanced analytics to quickly
identify the root cause of application problems, and take action to
fix them.
"Oracle provides us with an integrated observability platform
for our applications, traces, and logs," said Peter Gawroniak,
senior director global infrastructure, Integra LifeSciences. "Since
moving from our previous cloud provider, the time taken to diagnose
and resolve problems has improved by five times."
"Our PeopleSoft Campus solutions and related applications
service over 87,000 students across seven colleges, two university
centers, and 10 additional centers. During the pandemic, we are
asking our staff to manage an unprecedented number of schedule
changes in very short windows," said Longin
Gogu, associate vice chancellor, enterprise applications,
Lone Star College. "We improved our
student's experience by reducing performance glitches by 90
percent, and lowered our effort and costs."
Partners Embrace New Integrated Observability and Management
Functionality
This new platform enables Oracle to meet
customers where they are in their cloud adoption journey. For
example, the Oracle Cloud Observability and Management Platform is
based on open standards that enable partners to easily integrate
the technology into their solutions and enhance their offerings. By
integrating with partners in the ecosystem, the Oracle Cloud
Observability and Management Platform allows customers to continue
leveraging their existing investments in technologies such as
Grafana, Slack, Twilio, and PagerDuty across use cases that include
monitoring, logging, messaging, and incident management.
"We're excited to announce two Grafana certified plugins for
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, making it easier for our customers to
gain end-to-end visibility of any application, database, and
infrastructure on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, in addition to other
environments," said Anthony Woods,
CTO, Grafana. "Now there's another reason for developers to adopt
Grafana."
"Adopting DevOps just got easier. Oracle CIoud Infrastructure's
one-click integration with PagerDuty allows customers to leverage
their existing investments in incident management," said
Steve Gross, senior director,
strategic ecosystem development, PagerDuty. "With this capability,
customers can easily configure, manage, and receive critical,
real-time alerts for their OCI infrastructure and workloads."
"The Oracle and Twilio partnership has enabled COVID-19 patients
to connect with healthcare providers, and researchers to understand
efficacy of drug therapies," said Ott Kaukver, CTO, Twilio. "Oracle
and Twilio are collaborating to provide SMS messaging, which will
make it even easier for customers to use messaging on Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure."
The platform enables partners to add custom entities, log
parsers, and dashboards to make customers more successful in their
cloud projects. System integrators, such as Wipro, Capgemini, and
Mythics embed the Oracle Cloud Observability and Management
Platform into their broader solutions, extending the value of the
infrastructure for their customers.
