It is compulsory that Oracle partners meet a strict set of requirements based on the needs and priorities of the customers in order to achieve Oracle Validated Integration. This can significantly reduce the cost and complexity of managing NetApp and Oracle-based applications and application administrators can now consolidate monitoring information using the Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c console as well as perform a detailed root cause analysis. Additionally, storage administrators can perform proactive monitoring of NetApp systems and assess the impact of storage performance problems on end-user services.
Key Features of the NetApp Storage Plug-In Deploying the plug-in in an Oracle Enterprise Manager environment provide the following for NetApp storage controllers:
- Comprehensive availability and performance monitoring
