Key Capabilities of Oracle Managed Cloud Services
Understanding critical responsibilities
While Oracle Customer Success Services does simplify and streamline critical system administration tasks and drive innovation through automation, machine learning, and proven best practices, the move to cloud infrastructure does not completely eliminate manual administration activities.
To maximize innovation and ensure their cloud and hybrid systems function as expected, customers must still manage all guest virtual machines (VMs) and related operating systems in the user domain. Oracle Managed Services provides a lower-cost option than in-house management, further improving process efficiency and optimizing the complete cloud journey.
Connecting technology infrastructure
Oracle Cloud offers innovative middleware services to help customers connect and optimize their enterprise business environment, including bridging the gap between specific users and their associated applications, databases, and capabilities.
The Oracle Customer Success Services model accelerates value driven by Oracle Cloud investments, providing intelligent provisioning and configuration features that facilitate continuous system improvement, service, and data management.
Ensuring database maintenance
Oracle customers are responsible for any additional tasks at the database, cluster, and operating system layer, requiring manual administration to keep databases maintained properly and ensure all critical business data is protected.
Oracle Managed Services offers intuitive support tools that relieve IT staff of daily database maintenance tasks to accelerate monitoring and incident management, improve system productivity, and enable staff to focus on more value-driven activities.
Implementing security controls
Hybrid, cloud, and multi-cloud environments have brought a new level of data security and control to the enterprise landscape, requiring IT and security teams to proactively address risks and adapt to changing security requirements.
The Oracle Customer Success Services platform offers access to reliable expertise, comprehensive portfolios, and seamless migrations to ensure your critical business data is connected and protected, even as identity and access controls are implemented or updated over time.
Embracing full enterprise investment
With ITIL-based infrastructure and support from service level agreements and end-to-end solution governance capabilities, Oracle Managed Services enables customers to extend and adapt their existing Oracle landscape to meet the evolving needs of their organization.
The Oracle Customer Success Services model also supports a wide range of managed workloads on the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, simplifying enterprise management and driving innovation through the latest Oracle technology updates.
