This number composes the entire server team. We are using this product for the management of our heterogeneous virtual environment. It not only helps us ensure an optimal performing environment, but will also aid us in planning on the necessary resources going forward. Moving forward, the procurement of hardware assets will be more accurate.

The following users leverage Turbonomic to valuable insights into our various virtual environments: IT management, IT administrators, IT Engineers, IT Procurement. These users' roles vary from purchasing net new IT hardware/services, renewing licensing, ensuring system health is optimal, providing capacity forecasting, designing new solutions and validating that pre-existing solutions are meeting the requirements of the business.

The main users are second line IT technicians who need to ensure our VM estate is performing as efficiently as possible. Our VMTurbo configuration is weighted heavily on the performance optimisation side

3 are Virtualization and Wintel Server Engineers. 1 is the Manager of Server Engineering. We have dashboards built in the system that are also accessed by the Director of IT Infrastructure services and the reporting analyst for IT for monthly reports. We have several users who are just web dashboard users from our analytics team, but they do not get into the system often.
