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...

Workload Planning Integration with Commitment Recommendations

It would be great if you could keep track of workload planning in Cloudability. For instance if we want to make a commitment on aggregate level we need to validate that the underlying resources will remain running, this requires input from the bus...

Action Persistence score
