Create and manage a virtual datacenter, or vDC. By consolidating your virtualization servers, storage, and network resources, you can optimize resource utilization.
Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center provides the platform to consolidate the physical resources (virtualization servers, storage, and network) in your data center, enabling you to build and operate your cloud services.
The software provides a comprehensive management solution to deploy, configure, and manage the virtualization servers, storage resources, and network fabrics. You can deploy these features as an Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) cloud platform service model in Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center.
The IaaS cloud platform service is available as vDC Management. Virtual Datacenter or vDC is a collection of server pools that share common storage and network resources. A cloud administrator sets up the infrastructure and provides access to cloud users. The cloud users use the allocated resources to create guests and install operating systems, deploy applications, monitor, and manage the applications. The cloud user logs into the Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center user interface to view and manage their applications.
A cloud user can perform the following actions to use and manage the allocated resources in a vDC account:
View account quotas and virtual resources
Create and manage vServers
Create and manage virtual networks
Create and manage snapshots
Create and manage volumes
Create and manage server templates
See the Virtual Datacenters chapter in the Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center Virtualization Guide and the Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center Cloud Infrastructure API and CLI Reference Guide for details on using the Cloud feature.
