Allow for scaling actions that do not block move actions

As a user I would like the ability to configure Turbonomic to ignore scaling actions when consumers shop for providers in the Market, so that I can enable WPA/Move automation before I enable automated scaling actions and not impact any move actions.

Include VIO Servers in the PowerVM support

I think it is important to support VIO Servers in the PowerVM support. At least add an option to allow the user to include VIO Servers. We used to have data/recommendations for VIOS when we were using Densify, so we knew we need to right-sized the...

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...

VMware Horizon Instant Clone Enhancement

IU health has 18k Horizon Users spread across 14 desktop pools at peak and typically see 10-11k users in steadystate. The environment is designed to have large pools with little segmentation to unlock as much capacity as needed. The global entitle...

VVOL volumes are not providing data to Turbonomic. So the data cannot be stitched.

A customer with a vcenter target utilizing Pure Storage is missing storage capacity and usage information (storage access IOPS / latency) in Turbo for some VMs, but are getting those metrics for other VMs discovered from the same vCenter target , ...

To be able to change Scaling Target VMEM Utilization for On-Premises

Currently, almost all of my SQL Servers are considered to not have enough memory according to Turbonomic as it appears to want 70% free memory. This was told to me by support. This threshold is way above what VMware and Microsoft consider to be be...

Would like to have VMWare vCPU Shares (low, normal, high) as an attributes for filtering

To filtered down to VMs that has a certain vCPU shares settings. e.g. If all SQL VM should have "High" shares, we can quickly find if there is any SQL VM that has been misconfigured to have "low" or "normal" shares.

Pure Storage Data Reduction Ratios not being picked up by Turbo. Using the manual Over-provisioning %. Therefore Turbo makes unnecessary Provision Disk Array Recommendations

The customer says Turbo's AI should be picking up data that is available in the PURE Storage system - and should not be requiring that the Storage Capacity Planners be adjusting the Storage Overprovisioned Percentage in the Disk Array Policy. I wi...

CPU Socket adjustment.

client: " I’d like to have Turbo always set the number of CPU sockets to 2, and to adjust the cores per socket # to modify the # of vCPUs when RightSizing. Currently this is accomplished with a custom script. I would like this configurable on at t...

Find a way to store historical vm data after cross-vcenter vmotion

Application and capacity teams would like to have important historical information, which get lost on cross vcenter vmotions. This is a hurdle to really adopting superclustering throughout our environment.
