Deep Visibility Into Oracle VMs
• The Outside view shows the portion of physical
resources used by each VM (CPU, disk, memory)
• Provided by the virtualization hypervisor
• Useful for capacity planning and identifying certain VM issues
• Does NOT show why a VM is consuming resources

Multi-level auto-baselining helps administrators detect problems
proactively and to fix them before users notice & complain.

Performance Reporting for Virtualization
 Executive & Operations reports
 Network, system, application
reports
 Enables triage across disparate
infrastructure tiers
 Real-time or post-mortem
