IBM Turbonomic ARM

Add list of Policies to the bottom of the Details Action page on volume actions. Currently it is inconsistent with other entity types like EC2, RDS, etc.

When viewing a virtual machine or database server the Action details page has a list of policies at the bottom of the proposed changes, so you can quickly see what's applied to it that is driving that recommendation. It would be handy to also see ...

We want to restrict volume changes to ONLY performance and not efficiency.

The customer has a DR environment with lots of volumes. Turbo is recommending downsizes that the customer doesn't want. Right now Turbo policy has an option Prefer Savings Over Reversibility. But unlike VM policy we can't restrict changes to just ...

Change vm uptime over more than a week

When someone is working with Turbonomic, inside action > Buy > Reserved instance we are only able to see the widget "VM UPTIME OVER A TYPICAL WEEK". That seems like all the buy reservations actions were based on a week study. We would like t...

Showing P90, P95, P99 actions all at the same time.

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...

It would be desirable if multiple currencies could be handled by one Turbonomic

Currently, only one currency symbol can be set, so if AWS (USD) and Azure (Yen) are mixed, it will be confusing. Each time, we create a group just for AWS and refer to that dashboard, which is cumbersome.

When using the Place/Initial Placement functionality, part of the process is selecting Placement or Do Not Place Policies in addition to the Scope. When selecting a VM template and selecting a Place Policy that has Dynamic criteria (e.g. if a VM h...

Bulk Create IAM Roles and add as Targets when adding a Master Billing account

Turbonomic supports ingesting AWS data from already created IAM Role/Users for specific AWS Accounts. This is great for 1 or 2 AWS accounts, but for customers who have 100s of AWS accounts, this can be very tedious. I am aware AWS allows their use...
