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...

Turbonomic recommendations for backup servers

Telefónica has HP Apollo Backup servers (ProLiant XL420 Gen10) integrated with Veritas NetBackup software. The backup is something that fills up over time and there is often no good criterion for deleting old backups or reducing retentions for cer...

Automation to monitor Postgres Databases
