Sun Management Center (Sun MC) is a systems management and monitoring tool developed by Sun Microsystems for enterprise-wide management of Sun servers, desktops and storage devices.

It is designed to enhance system performance, reliability, security, and utilization by allowing system administrators to monitor all servers and components in their data center, including boards, CPUs, fans, and power supplies.{{cite web | title=Sun Management Center Introduction | website=Oracle | date=19 April 2018 |url=https://www.oracle.com/servers/technologies/sun-management-center.html | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221005212504/https://www.oracle.com/servers/technologies/sun-management-center.html | archive-date=5 October 2022 | url-status=live | access-date=27 May 2024|location=Austin, Texas|publisher=Oracle Corporation}}

The tool comprises three layers. The console, a user interface, interacts with the server to get the configuration information, data, and image files necessary to present views of the managed servers. The server acts as a request broker between the managed systems and the console, handling tasks like topology management, event management, configuration management, and trap handling. An agent normally runs on each system being managed. Each agent has modules capable of managing specific data items, such as hardware, operating system, and application data.

Sun MC provides in-depth monitoring of Sun hardware and a comprehensive set of metrics for the Solaris Operating System, including support for Solaris Containers. It is open and extensible, and supports various add-ons for additional system management capabilities.[https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19062-01/sun.mgmt.ctr35/816-2678/6m90st2d5/index.html Sun Management Center Overview] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240527013140/https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19062-01/sun.mgmt.ctr35/816-2678/6m90st2d5/index.html |date=27 May 2024 }} Oracle
