IBM Turbonomic

IBM Turbonomic was used to make business decisions for migrations from physical Data Centers to several cloud providers. The product provided reports on current usage, the cost to migrate, and how to optimize prior to the migration. Lastly, execute upgrades post migrations.

Turbonomic is the most trusted, powerful all-in-one application resource management platform which delivers continuous optimization for public cloud, private cloud, and Kubernetes. My experience is great and very innovative, over the past 1 year and so we use this for applications resources to perform at the level best while satisfying our business constraints. Customer service and support have been amazing, never let us down even a single day.

We are using Turbonomic in IT as our primary Application Resource management. We use the IBM cloud suite in our company for IaaS and so we expected the Turbonomic integration to be flawless, which was the case. We use Turbonomic to have full-stack visibility of our applications to optimize the performance of our virtual machines. We are also using the software analytics engine to view our application's exposed data.

By using of this we can ensure that our data might be safe or secure and unshareable to others vendors or the third party without our permission. Ease to detect and remediate application performance issues. this product increases IT productivity. this is easy to use and easy to understand the users.

VMTurbo Operations Manager is being used to monitor 10 hosts and ~150 virtual machines; along with three storage architectures used as a back-end. This software is only used at my department level, and is not deployed on a large scale in my institution. VMTurbo Operations Manager is used from time to time to troubleshoot VMware infrastructure issues.

Turbonomic is used as an automation utility for VMware vSphere compute migrations as well as hardware capacity planning. It also allows us to monitor performance and report to service owners when experiencing pain-points or bottlenecks.

Turbonomic helps with supporting application resource management and network performance data incorporating machine learning to help create a microservices architecture where AIOps is addressing the need to remove legacy applications. It's been able to allow to monitor across multiple service lines as storage and database capabilities while automating many tasks. It also supports virtual machine setup.

We are using VMTurbo Operations Manager locally at our site to manage the whole virtualized infrastructure, which is comprised of storage and servers. We are also using it for monitoring general performance, and optimizing resources to address performance problems and to optimize our financial Investments. This has given me a better insight into the really complex architecture of VM. The graphics are smart and you can configure everything to your needs. Technical support is provided from the Irish Islands which makes communication for a non-native speaker a bit challenging, but we manage. Setting policies first is a critical point where a lot of care has to be taken. The policies have to reflect business needs and requirements. Limitations or regulations which are in place have to be reflected in the monitoring process. After 60 days we received a very clear picture about our environment and were able to accept proposals (usually moving servers to underutilized areas) or work on our policies. The feedback from our administrators was great. We now have to work on even better utilization of our resources. As IT is the only unit able to manage the VM environment nobody else has access to the application. But I share images of the app to the management circle. Green bars a more understandable than bare figures.

We are using Turbonomic to manage and streamline our cloud footprint. We have seen a lower cost footprint as well as assistance in organizing our environment and making it clear to all of our users how the cloud costs the company and how to make better decisions on its use.

We use it in our VMware environment.

Turbonomic provides operational excellence providing insight into workload consumption driving cost-optimal decisions without starving compute resources required to meet application requirements. Actions are implemented through automated orchestration removing the need to tie up critical engineer hours that would otherwise be taxed with manually scaling up or down resources. Changes to workloads are automated after hours as a turnkey execution. Optimization actions are tracked to calculate ongoing ROI for justification. Turbonomic removes the need to have specialized skilled engineers review ingested metric data to develop cost optimization configurations in an ever changing fluid public cloud paradigm. Turbonomic provides and acts on designs based on actual utilization metrics and scales accordingly with cost in mind removing the second guessing as to which compute sku is most optimal cost prohibited choice. Turbonomic takes the guess work out of resource allocation.

Here at BCD Travel, we use Turbonomic to monitor and slightly manage the virtual environments, as well as troubleshooting, capacity planning, and reporting. Turbonomic is being used globally for all virtual environments. It is has helped us troubleshoot resource constraints in some environments, capacity plan for the next hardware refresh, monitor the health of the networking, storage, and compute resources for our environments, and the reporting has helped us stay efficient with our resources.

Virtual environments can be challenging to manage. There are only so many resources on a host, and ensuring that each virtual machine has enough to properly function without choking the physical host can be a difficult balance. While some vendors such as VMware provide their own solution, these can be costly and will only work with their products. What does a company do when they have a heterogeneous environment that may also include Hyper-V and XenServer? A heterogeneous virtual environment is one if the reason Turbonomic was installed in my environment earlier this year. This is a powerful product that we have just scratch the surface on its vast features. It monitors the entire virtual environment from the application to the storage pool and provides statistics and recommendations. The objection of Turbonomic is to reach an ideal balance of host resources and virtual machine performance. Once recommendations are made, the system can be configured to answer these adjustments in a variety of ways such as fully or partially automated, manual, or simply recommend.

We use the planning features of VMTurbo Operations Manger to make sure that our environment is sized appropriately. Using VMTurbo Operations Manager we can see current headroom in the current environment and can simulate added growth - either by copying current VM configurations, using a standard VM configuration, or creating custom configurations. VMTurbo Operations Manager will then model that environment and show me the number of hosts required to support it. The same tool is useful when planning hardware upgrades for the hosts supporting the environment.

We use Turbonomic to help monitor the health and efficiency our virtual environment and make informed resource allocation decisions. Resource strain and availability is greatly enhanced with the use of Turbonomic. The product is used primarily by our IT team but the reporting is shared across the organization as a whole.

We use Turbonomic on the Openshift Platform primarily, but testing it in our HCI context as well. We use Turbonomic to address 2 key problems; (1) to right-size containers which developers typically ask for XL and (2) capacity plan for the size of the Openshift cluster itself - here we are calculating resource consumption and growth.

We run our applications in IBM Cloud, and we use IBM Cloud Availability Monitoring tool to monitor all of our applications.

We used it to help manage the compute resources being used in our datacenter. We have increased our VM deployments exponentially over the past few years without ensure efficient use of our resources. Turbonomic was implemented to help identify underutilization of resources to recover tied up resources and ensure that our most important applications had the resources they needed. It was used in our campus-wide datacenter that houses all VMs for our university.

We use Turbonomic for workload automation in our internal VMware environment. We also use it for capacity management and VM rightsizing.

We use Turbonomic for mainly DRS purposes. It is being used to manage DRS throughout the entire organizations. Turbonomic addresses the problems that are not dealt very well by VMs built in DRS.

We use VMTurbo Operations Manage to optimise our VMware estate so we can get the best performance out of it. It allows us to tune the estate to ensure all VMs are performing as well as possible.

We are using this product to manage/balance resource usage of our entire virtual infrastructure. We are also leveraging the products ability to create one logical cluster from several to balance our workloads more effectively.

It is used for planning new vms and right sizing the current ones.

I primarily use the core functionality to maintain our performance baselines. It is also very useful for finding and troubleshooting and performance hotspots. Having this tool now enables up to give performance guarantees to all of our Tier 1 VMs that house our critical applications.

We are currently using VMTurbo Operations Manager to analyze resource usage and follow possible load balancing recommendations based on current and past trends. It is also being utilized to automatically vmotion servers across ESXi hosts for load balancing. It is only being used by our Infrastructure team.
