Consistent sizing: Allow consistent number of vCPUs instead of consistent CPU capacity in MHz

Customers are not using MHz or GHz when they are dealing with CPU capacity of VMs but vCPUs. Thus, for a user consistent resizing shall - at least as an option - result in the same number of vCPUs. For a user it’s really hard to understand if the ...

Consistent sizing: Show group member(s) with highest utilization which determine size of the group

In Turbonomic UI you don't have a chance to easily identify the member of a consistent resizing group with the highest load which determines the VM size for the group. This becomes almost impossible when comparing VMs running on hosts with differe...

Allow constraints based on the $$ savings of an action

It's helpful to have a special workflow for actions that save more money, so they get a different automation-schedule or attention or priority. The Turbonomic 'Action Center' lets you filter actions by savings but doesn't start a new process. To m...

Have the possibility to set up minimum number of hosts AND a odd/even constraint for suspension/provision hosts in cluster

Many customers have "streched" VMware clusters (I'm not talking about VSAN clusters, but regular clusters, being just spread in two rooms or two DCs). Turbonomic might recommend suspend actions in the live market and in "optimize on-prem" plans bu...

Turbonomic Policy engine provides easy way for set affinity to newer generations of instance types when considering same size so tool does not suggest de-modernizing from db.8g.4xl to db.6g.4xl

Newer cloud Provider instance types may have price/performance benefits that customers are seeking. Customersmay have a policy and practice of running newer instance types (database, virtual machines, ...). It would be helpful if the Turbonomic po...

Turbonomic (Cloud) integration with Microsoft Azure Client/Custom Policies

We define policies in Microsoft Azure to provide subscription management for Virtual Machine size limitations. Turbonomic cannot currently read custom Azure policy and will therefore recommend, and attempt, to resize certain VM sizes. These Turbon...

Direct action scheduling - Allow actions to be directly scheduled instead of needing to associate entity to policy and policy to schedule.

Allow actions to be directly scheduled instead of needing to associate entity to policy and policy to schedule. Direct scheduling should override any execution schedule at policy level until the action has been successfully executed. This would al...

Extend Turbo's parking/suspending capabilities to on-premises VMs

Extend Turbo's parking/suspending functionality to VMs in vmware/hyper-v enviornments. For all the same reasons Turbo supports parking VMs in the cloud, Turbo should extend this functionality to on-prem workloads. By turning off idle resources, Tu...
