IT Analytics Cloud Service 16.3.3 / Availability Analytics

In latest release, Oracle introduced a new category of analytical applications, called Availability Analytics, focused on health and availability of applications and their infrastructure. Using this app, LOB application owners can pinpoint their worst applications based on occurrences or duration of downtime.


This app also provides out-of-the-box insight into the availability trends to show if it is getting better or worse over time.
IT Managers can use this app to find their most problematic components, e.g. database, application server or host, based on events generated and analyze patterns based on platform, version or category of events, to uncover systemic problems in their application infrastructure.

IT Analytics Cloud Service 16.3.3 / Host Resource Analytics

In this release (16.3.3), Oracle introduced a new app in the category of resource analysis called Host Resource Analytics focused on analyzing resources of all types of hosts, e.g. physical servers, Exadata, virtual machines and IaaS.


With this app, capacity planners and heads of infrastructure in enterprises can view the capacity and utilization of all their compute resources on-premise and on-the-cloud at a glance to identify the hosts running out of capacity by resource, e.g. CPU, memory or storage.
The app also identifies hosts with excess capacity so that workload may be transferred to these underutilized hosts, thereby reducing capital procurement costs.
