SUNNYVALE, Calif., Sept. 25, 2012
- NetApp (NASDAQ: NTAP), a Gold-level member of Oracle
PartnerNetwork (OPN), today announced that it has achieved Oracle
Validated Integration of the NetApp Storage System Plug-In version
1.0 with Oracle® Enterprise Manager 12c, extending
the application-to-disk coverage of Oracle Enterprise Manager
environments that include managed NetApp storage. The NetApp
Storage System Plug-In delivers comprehensive availability,
performance, and configuration information for NetApp storage
controllers used in enterprise cloud environments and is part of
the NetApp solution for Oracle Databases.
To achieve Oracle Validated Integration,
Oracle partners are required to meet a stringent set of
requirements that are based on the needs and priorities of the
customers. This achievement can significantly reduce the cost and
complexity of managing applications that run on NetApp®
systems and Oracle technologies. Application administrators can now
consolidate monitoring information in the Oracle Enterprise Manager
12c console and can perform detailed root cause analysis.
Storage administrators can perform proactive monitoring of NetApp
systems, assess the impact of storage performance problems on
end-user services, and better align their efforts with business
needs.
"NetApp and Oracle share a common vision of
providing solutions that can help reduce IT cost and complexity and
empower agile businesses," said Brendon Howe, vice president,
Product and Solutions Marketing, NetApp. "For more than a decade,
NetApp's relationship with Oracle has involved product testing,
enabling essential interoperability and innovation that accelerate
business success. Customers can benefit from improved risk
management and smoother upgrade capability, leading to lower total
cost of ownership and greater overall satisfaction."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager's rich partner
ecosystem helps ensure that Oracle Enterprise Manager can provide
deep, integrated manageability for heterogeneous environments,
leveraging the collective expertise of our integration partners
such as NetApp," said Dan Koloski, senior director, Product
Management, Oracle. "An Oracle Validated Integration gives our
joint customers confidence that the integration between the NetApp
Storage System Plug-In version 1.0 and Oracle Enterprise Manager
12c has been validated and that the products work together
as designed. We congratulate NetApp on their achievement and look
forward to the adoption of this plug-in by our mutual
customers."
