RELATED IDEAS

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 datacenter rack, density of VMs on the host) but they think that since we calculate everything else we should be able to calculate this. What about if we were able to price each type of host (cost/hr )in a configuration screen, could that then lead to each action having an estimated price?

    Capital expensed assets with ongoing amortized savings reflection in Turbonomic would be great. Is there a way to add self described cost of a capital expense item and track ROI on the perceived savings [Storage costs $ although most are capital expense]. This is a broad question when the scope on Vmware is expanding with nVidia AI GPU use cases [even leased cost is a cost we can try augmenting via invoice import]. Any thoughts?

    Hi Simon.

    We should have a way to setup some internal pricesheet and start to show the value of the savings or TCO, like we do in Grafana: https://github.com/turbonomic/visualization/tree/main/embedded-visualization/Virtual%20Machines/cspe-VM-Capacity-and-Cost-with-Tags-and-other-costs

    Jim, thanks for raising this. Can we set up a call to dig into the requirements some more and find out what would be the most desired outcome here.

    Thanks,

    Simon
