In the rapidly evolving world of server virtualization, businesses need on-premises solutions designed for high performance and reliability that adapt to their unique environments. With the Broadcom acquisition of VMware, many enterprises and partners are now challenged with reevaluating their options for server virtualization. Rising costs, required licensing changes, and SKU consolidations have created uncertainty at a time when IT leaders need flexibility, predictability, and scalability. However, with this reevaluation many enterprises want to preserve the management tools they rely on, especially those integrated with their server virtualization platforms.

That’s why the Oracle Virtualization team is pleased to introduce the ServiceNow integration with Oracle Virtualization. ServiceNow has tested and validated IT Operations Management (ITOM) with Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager. This integration between Oracle Virtualization and ServiceNow strengthens our commitment to empowering organizations with robust, seamless IT infrastructure management solutions. It also gives enterprises a flexible and reliable alternative to VMware while continuing to leverage their existing ServiceNow AI-powered ITOM platform.

Oracle Virtualization is an on-premises server virtualization solution that is a robust and reliable alternative for IT operations teams. The solution combines the open source-based management platform Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager with the high performing, secure Oracle Linux KVM hypervisor. Many organizations have successfully migrated their applications and services to Oracle Virtualization while maintaining business continuity, and these users have chosen to migrate from other higher-priced and licensed virtualization offerings to a simple and cost-effective Oracle Linux Premier Plus Support subscription.

The ServiceNow ITOM Visibility application provides a comprehensive view of your IT infrastructure and the services it supports. With the latest release, the ServiceNow Discovery application uses patterns to identify Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager components including data centers, clusters, hosts, virtual machines, and templates.

With this integration, users can now manage Oracle Virtualization resources directly within the ServiceNow AI Platform. This enables IT teams to automate, monitor, and orchestrate their Oracle Virtualization environments as part of their broader IT Service Management (ITSM) workflows—helping improve operational efficiency, supporting compliance processes, and improving service quality.

Key benefits:

  • Unified Operations: Consolidate virtualization management and ITSM processes into a single pane of glass within ServiceNow.
  • Automation: Streamline virtual machine lifecycle management with automated provisioning, deprovisioning, and incident workflows.
  • Visibility: Gain deeper insights into virtualized assets and compliance status directly within ServiceNow dashboards.
  • Enhanced Governance: Leverage ServiceNow’s approval and ticketing features to enforce operational policies for Oracle Virtualization environments.

More information about these products can be found on the Oracle Virtualization and ServiceNow websites. Details on the ServiceNow integration with Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager can be found in the IT Operations Management documentation.
