A few days ago, 2017-09-27, Turbonomic, a long time VCDX56 blog sponsor, released a new version of their software which continuously analyzes real-time workload demand and matches it to compute, storage and network resources in a virtualized, private or public cloud environment. This means the latest & greatest Turbonomic version is 6.0 and it brings new ways of controlling your operational expenses and providing the application with the performance & availability they need.
There are quite a few enhancements to the 6.0 release and like many companies these days Turbonomic is moving away from a flash based UI to a HTML5 based UI meaning you can manage the software from any device from anywhere.
A way to further increase cost control is the automated or scheduled suspend action where you can either let Turbonomic decide when to suspend an instance or set a schedule when you need an instance to be suspended.
Other enhancements in the 6.0 release includes:
- Current default operating system for Turbonomic is CentOS but upgrade bits are available for RedHat as well. No more support for openSUSE
- Build custom dashboards via the dynamic canvas
- A lot of widgets to customize your desktop
- Databases, storage, compute and network real time analysis in AWS and Azure
- Total instance cost analysis including cost for compute, license, IP and storage.
- Universal search – serach throughout your hybrid environment.
- All UI elements gets the information from RESTful API meaning no clients are needed at the end points.
- Plan cloud storage migration & migrate between storage tiers without any downtime
- Processing & Analysis
- New targets including:
- Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC) for discover network flows
- Fabric Control including Cisco UCS Central & HPE OneView
- Smarter IOPS Calculations for Disk Arrays including both flash based once and hybrid once.
- Ignore constraints in project plans.
