Indeed IBM Turbonomic has enabled our organization to achieve faster time to market.

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.

As a user, I see the performance of IBM Turbonomic on a weekly basis and it is very clear to observe that the staff capability increase is very much related on the application implementation.
I am aware that the Infrastructure costs and data centre refresh costs has gone down from significant amounts. But I am unable to provide exact numbers as I do not have access to such information. But the decision to continue using IBM Turbonomic was made due to these cost savings as a one reason out of many.

Also allows you to access each specific virtual machine as you require. Able to run simulation on potential required resources and decide whether you need to increase or decrease assigned resources and receive suggestions from the application to do further modifications.
