(1-3 of 3)VMTurbo Review
- Suggests if resources are not being efficiently and should be reduced wherever required.
- Takes action based on defined rules rather just reporting an alert.
- Effective Reporting.
- Doing good so far, I do not have anything that I can suggest at this moment.
- Help identifying and can utilize unused resources.
- Based on the defined VM templates we were able to see the snapshot of available capacity.
- Many of the servers resources under utilized and VMTurbo could report those to revoke unused resources and increase capacity
- Reporting is the key information provider for management and give high level view resources being used.
- Before VMTurbo, no reporting of Hardware infrastructure.
- Were able to use available resources efficiently
- Can manage many options from single console.
- Optimum usage of available resources.
- Will help defining IT strategies and IT budgeting.
- Can automate action to save unused resources.

VMTurbo - Take off in getting your infrastructure under control!
- Working alongside DRS rules within the VMware vCentre, VMTurbo manages and balances the computing workloads as it uses better calculating formulas and enhances the DRS rules in place.
- VMTurbo monitors not just the computing resources, but network and storage IO, allowing better placement of VMs on lower latency connected hosts and on better higher performing datastores.
- Automatically generated summary reports every week give a great overview of the system and reduces the need to constantly monitor the environment. VMTurbo helps the infrastructures manage themselves.
- It takes a bit of understanding of the way that VMTurbo does all of the calculations and based on this, getting the correct settings/thresholds in place to ensure the workload balances/costs is quite tricky to get correct.
- We have had a positive ROI on our VMTurbo deployments. We had been looking at purchasing new hardware to add more computing resources to one VMware infrastructure and this would have been >£75K. However the costs of purchasing and deployment of VMTurbo and only procuring extra memory was only £50K, thus saving over £25K on hardware alone. Extra costs would have been required for hosting these extra servers (i.e. power, cooling, rack space).
- Cibra and SolarWinds Virtualization Manager
- Implemented in-house
- Setting correct costing for computing resources
- Setup of scheduled email reports
- In-person training
- Automated resource management
- Report generation
- Resource planning requires the configuration of the VM template details to be setup correctly
- Bug fixes
- Product enhancements
- more product enhancements based on additional application monitoring.
Watch your VMs fly with VMTurbo!
- VMTurbo is constantly watching the clusters and their hosts, therefore it is able to balance resources allowing our administrators to perform other tasks.
- VMTurbo also allows us to make predictions on how many more virtual machines we can add to certain clusters based on available resources and trends.
- Some of the prediction tools are quite complicated to configure. I think the process could be simplified however I'm sure some of the complexity is due to the thoroughness.
- Its our eyes on the important resources when we are busy working other projects. It has helped keep performance, especially our VDI environment, running well without much administrative intervention.
- Balancing ESX Host resources
- Projections based off of trends of how many more virtual machines can be added
- When is it time to add a host or storage to your environment
- Allowing our customers to view their environment's resources
- Product Features
- Product Usability
- Product Reputation
- Vendor implemented
- In-person training
- Allowing it to balance the systems
- The Projection portion is a little cumbersome to configure and produce results.
- It corrects some issues we were experiencing with VMTurbo
