Oracle Enterprise Manager
Oracle Enterprise Manager is Oracle’s integrated enterprise IT management solution. Oracle Enterprise Manager
is designed to combine the self-management capabilities built into Oracle products with its business-driven IT
management capabilities to deliver a holistic approach to IT management across the entire Oracle technology
portfolio including Oracle Database and Oracle Exadata, Oracle Fusion Middleware and Oracle Exalogic, Oracle
Applications, Oracle Solaris, Oracle Linux, Oracle VM, and our complete hardware portfolio including our
servers, storage and networking. Oracle Enterprise Manager is designed to manage Oracle’s technology portfolio
whether deployed using traditional architectures or in cloud computing architectures. In both cases, Oracle
Enterprise Manager is designed to provide a complete IT lifecycle management approach, including configuring
elements of an IT environment; monitoring service levels; diagnosing and troubleshooting problems; patching
and provisioning IT environments; managing compliance reporting; and providing change management in a
unified way across physical and virtualized IT environments.
Oracle VM
Oracle VM is server virtualization software for both Oracle SPARC and x86-based servers and supports both
Oracle and non-Oracle applications. Oracle VM software is designed to enable different applications to share a
single physical system for higher utilization and efficiency and simplify software deployment by enabling
pre-configured software images to be created and rapidly deployed without installation or configuration errors.
Applications Software
Oracle Applications are designed using an industry standards-based, integrated architecture to manage and
automate customers’ core business functions, support customer choice, help to reduce risk, cost and complexity
of customers’ IT infrastructures, and enable customers to differentiate their businesses using our technologies.
Through a focused strategy of investments in internal research and development and strategic acquisitions, we
also provide industry-specific solutions for customers in over 20 industries, including communications,
engineering and construction, financial services, health services, manufacturing, public sector, retail and utilities.
New software license revenues from applications software represented 28% of our new software license revenues
in each of fiscal 2011, 2010 and 2009.
Our Oracle Applications strategy provides customers with a secure path to adopt our latest technology advances
that are designed to improve the customer software experience and enable better business performance. Central
to that strategy is our Applications Unlimited program, which is our commitment to customer choice through our
investment and innovation in our current applications offerings. Our next-generation Oracle Fusion Applications
build upon this commitment and are designed to work with and evolve customer investments in their existing
applications portfolio. Oracle Lifetime Support helps ensure customers will continue to have a choice in upgrade
paths based on their enterprises’ needs.
Oracle Fusion Applications
Oracle Fusion Applications are a comprehensive suite of modular, next-generation software applications that
include enterprise resource planning (ERP), customer relationship management (CRM), supply chain
management (SCM) and enterprise project portfolio management (EPPM). Oracle Fusion Applications are
designed using commercially-available technology standards such as Java, BPEL and others, existing best
practices and the principles of SOA. With their tailored user experience and embedded analytical capabilities,
Oracle Fusion Applications are designed to increase user productivity and allow customers to manage functions
across different environments more effectively. Using a SOA approach, Oracle Fusion Applications are
engineered to provide customers with more flexibility to innovate and adopt next-generation technologies at their
own pace, whether via one module, a product family or an entire suite. Oracle Fusion Applications are
engineered to be cloud-ready and thus offer flexible deployment options, including private clouds, public clouds
or Oracle Cloud Services.
