Unified environments have improved compliance and reduced storage use across our infrastructure
Oracle OSS is part of the Oracle Management System, similar to Red Hat Satellite. Enterprise Manager is the one that is used to manage databases. Oracle OSS Management Hub is the actual name of the product. I would say stability for production systems is the most valuable feature. It gives assurance that the environments are all equal, which is something you must have in order to be compliant. You cannot have different packages in production, pre-prod, UAT, or test. It needs to be all the same. There is saving in the storage as well. I believe they improved the way they allocate resources at the storage level. Before, they had copies of the same thing multiple times to the point that at the moment, we are using 10%, maybe 20% of the space that we were using before.
