On-Premises (Hypervisor & Storage & Network)

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...

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...

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...

Adding Redhat KVM as a supported hypervisor.

Please add Redhat KVM as a supported hypervisor for on-premises environments. https://www.redhat.com/en/topics/virtualization/what-is-KVM

Add a column on the "List of Virtual Macines" view to show the hostname of the host where each VM is running on

This is particular important for on-premise environment where we need to see the VM-to-Host mapping (true for both VMWare and Power VM)

Better load balancing when on-prem cluster gets overutilized and note in the UI which tells the problem

Our on-premises virtualization clusters are stretched across two data centers. We aim to keep resource utilization in the clusters below 50% so that in the event of a data center failure, there are still enough resources available for all VMs. To ...

Add datacenter, target, and storage cluster to Delete action export

As a user of Turbonomic I would like the vCenter datacenter, Turbonomic target name (vCenter name),and vCenter storage cluster name added to the the action center export for Delete actions, so that I can better understand where I am reclaiming sto...

More robust scheduling options for workflows

Please look into expanding the scheduling options for automation workflows and parking workflows. I think this would be extremely beneficial. Right now, I have a use case where we have certain servers that stay off until they are needed, such as c...
