Earlier if we had an issue in our system, we weren't notified and it took quite a while to fix it. But now since IBM Turbonomic monitors our system in real time and alerts us instantly, we can fix the issue almost immediately which saves both time and money.

Yes, we've been able to allocate our resources better to develop applications than to manage infrastructure. As with any AI/ML project, we conduct several experiments and build models which have to be back tested against large datasets. Managing infrastructure took over 50% of the projects time. Using this tool, we've been able to reduce the costs and reduce that time considerably. Moreover, we can thus run multiple experiments and it helps us with Model Governance prior to going into production

I would say the most notable thing is we have less instances where have to do in depth investigations in to application performance issues. This free's up the team to work on new projects and delivering new applications. The automation features are reliable and we trust them to help us manage our application servers and resources.

Its search and analysis engine in high volume and flow work environments shows significant performance in results based on metrics of storage capacity and CPU and includes a bug search engine to monitor the overall performance of the entire company without directly affecting departmental work with its remote features. Turbonomic analyzes everything instantly and can perform custom resource classification based on all of our parameters.

If you've managed to drive the overall growth of the entire work environment with IBM technology from Turbonomic, of course it's also integrated with other IBM software already in place; it all helps when business processes need to be generally in a 60% manual, now with IBM Turbonomic, we know that by automating these tasks better performance is possible.

implementing automated recommendations for raising or lowering compute, storage EBS, EKS, RDS
Turbonomics rightsizing lets app developers do more development rather than playing guessing games - which contribute to compute waste and the wrong size slows down agile development
Turbo can do more growth in use EKS as cost optimization is top down

Our staff has been able to manage our day to day operation with ease thanks to the application resource management.
And the fact that we have been successful time and time again is making us very content. Also the integrated capacty reporting functions also helped us fine tune our apps and cut expenses.

Indeed IBM Turbonomic has enabled our organization to achieve faster time to market. The AI powered insights provided by the application has greatly supported us to make instant decisions which has provided a good return to us. The product is very smooth and can handle a big workload at once. It monitors all our virtual presence and effectively provides us with feedback and also make sure our systems are running perfectly. This is very crucial to our operations as being very reactive in the industry is highly crucial for us. Earlier when it was done by our own staff, the decision making time was very slow and as a result our service standards were very poor. But not anymore thanks to IBM Turbonomic.

IBM Turbonomic has provided combined visibility into the applications for its performance or availability (specially business critical apps) and the dependent infrastructure, however still there are areas of improvement such as advance correlation among infra and apps (specially network components are missing). Algorithm flexibility in AIOps or prediction is a need of todays time.

Ofcourse, IBM Turbonomic has not only provided visibility into the Application Performance or their availability but also insights about related databases, servers, micro services, 3rd party dependent nodes etc. Due to its unified dashboard and events correlation capability our support teams are able to detect the problems and resolve them before large impact.

Yes, it has an impact on application development because it helps to avoid over-interaction with service calls that you already know are troubled with peaks of demand. Also, it helps to demonstrate that many of the problems are bad database design with poor indexes. Because all the infrastructure is working well but the database server is failing when you have a peak of query requests.

Turbonomic has improved application performance for the business and all users/customers. Turbonomic keeps us running at optimal performance which allows us to better serve our end-users in the company; which then better serves our customers. Turbonomic helps limit the slowness that can be experienced at peak usage and can increase resources faster than somebody being notified that there is an issue and then their time to make improvements.

Having the vital apps registering high performance is of much importance to us, and so with IBM Turbonomic we can properly identify faulty machines from the monitor and fix the issues (saves us some good money on deployments in the long run). It has provided us with critical insights on resource utilization on all server management levels.

Turbonomic allows us to better allocate data center resources and identify problem areas for many applications and services running in the environment. It allows us to identify individual virtual workloads that are pain-points and provide owners statistics for these instances.
