Oracle Compliance
Simplified & Protected.
Stay in sync with VMware cluster changes. Combine Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) inventories with real-time vCenter topologies to track VM migrations and enforce correct core-factor licensing.
Defending Against the Oracle "Galaxy" Audit Claim
During software audits, Oracle frequently asserts that because a virtualized database *could* run on any host within a VMware cluster or vCenter (due to vMotion or DRS rules), you must license the physical CPU cores of every host in that entire cluster.
Without automated mapping, defending against these claims is close to impossible. Licencify reclaims your leverage by generating deterministic, timeline-proven VM isolation histories, directly showing the actual boundaries of database execution.
Are you exposed to point-in-time drift?
Even if your virtual machine cluster is isolated today, a temporary DRS load-balancing event can migrate an Oracle database VM to an unlicensed host for just a few minutes. Auditors scan system history logs to catch these short-term migrations and claim retroactive license violations.
How Licencify Computes Your Oracle Position
Our containerized local gateway acts as a secure analytics engine, establishing a continuous bridge between your database instances and virtualization clusters.
Query OEM Inventory
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Sync"
Licencify connects to your Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) repository in read-only mode, extracting the full inventory of active database instances, versions, and installed options (like Oracle Partitioning, Advanced Security, or Diagnostics and Tuning Packs) in seconds.
Extract vCenter Topology
"Virtualization Mapping"
We query your VMware vCenter Servers to identify where the database VMs reside. The gateway extracts physical hardware metrics (socket count, physical core densities) and vSphere cluster groupings, mapping out the complete physical landscape.
Calculate & Reconcile
"Core-Factor Reconciliation"
The engine correlates the active database features with the physical processor cores of their respective ESXi hosts, automatically applying Oracle's Processor Core Factor (e.g. 0.5 multiplier for Intel/AMD XEON). The result is a clean, live Effective License Position (ELP).
Continuous DRS & vMotion Tracking
Traditional compliance reviews are done once a year, missing intermediate hardware changes. Licencify continuously monitors VMware vMotion history, tracking virtual machine migrations across hosts. If a database VM moves to an unlicensed cluster host, you are alerted immediately, giving you time to adjust allocation rules before the compliance drift turns into an expensive audit liability.
Affinity Rule Checks
Licencify automatically monitors VMware VM-Host Affinity Rules, ensuring your VM containment policies are actively applied and verified by the system.
Database-safe, Read-Only Scans
We know DBA guidelines are strict. Licencify connects remotely and runs in **SELECT-only mode** over standard TCP/IP. It does not load binary scripts onto your database servers, does not lock dictionary tables, and operates with less than microsecond execution times per instance. You can inspect and review every single SQL query before deploying our containerized gateway.
Security-Desk Approved
The local container scrubs sensitive database user data, table values, and schema structures. Only raw core-factor metrics leave your network perimeter.
