Cloud computing delivers benefits, including the ability to access data anytime, anywhere, making the cloud an appealing solution for empowering business productivity. Supporting cloud workflows can be challenging for IT teams that need to ensure security as well as accessibility for users. Enterprise Manager addresses the challenges of cloud control with enhancements for managing infrastructure, middleware, and applications. ION Data Accelerator features a customized plug-in for Oracle 11g and 12c databases to enable database administrators to monitor performance and system status. Through the ION Data Accelerator integration with Enterprise Manager, IT service providers can enable industry application performance and agility while further reducing the costs and complexity of their cloud and enterprise IT environments.

Users demand responsive performance from the applications they rely on, regardless of whether the software is hosted on physical or virtual servers. Designed to enable rapid enterprise application deployment and simplify lifecycle management for Oracle and other applications, VM Server for x86 is an enterprise server virtualization solution that makes it easier to deploy, manage, and support applications in virtual environments. The new ION Data Accelerator certification for VM Server enables enterprises to add performance that meets expectations even for data-intensive virtual workloads.
