Turbonomic support for IBM Cloud Object Storage (On-Premises)

We request Turbonomic to support IBM Cloud Object Storage (On-Premises) as a storage optimization target. We would like to monitor the capacity and the actual usage of the storage and be able to take optimization actions as needed.

Include Storage Cluster name in Storage Action Details

Today, Turbonomic does not include Storage Cluster information within generated storage actions (such as provision storage). In order for this action to be useful and relevant, we need visibility as to which datastores are in which datastore clust...

Import Latency Sensitivity VM setting for vmotion cost calculation

We have some workloads that are latency sensitive and suffer when vMotioned in short sequence. vCenter has VM settings called "latency sensitivity" and "vMotion stun time limit" that would be incredibly beneficial for these types of workloads for ...

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...

SecureClient available for Self-managed Turbonomic.

The customer would like to set up a Self-managed Turbonomic instance in thier own data center, and they want it to manage vCenters located in other remote data centers as well. However, switching between multiple Turbonomic instances would be inco...

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)

Dollar value for on-prem scaling - just like Cloud. Each action has a saving/cost to it.

The customer would like Turbo to put a price tag on each action. They want to be able to tell how much adding vMem or vCPU or a combo. to a VMware VM costs. The customer is aware that it depends on a bunch of things (cost/hr of host, cost/hr of da...
