What your subscription covers

Separate the live control system from the weekly review

Turbonomic includes live resource optimisation. If your immediate job is capacity review and change evidence, scope that work before buying the whole platform again.

paid

A managed-server contract

IBM sells Turbonomic on contracts covering managed virtual servers. Ask how the contracted scope matches the estate you actually review.

cloud

Hosting choices

IBM offers a hosted service and a self-hosted option. Your operating responsibilities depend on the option you choose.

dashboard

Environment summaries

IBM summarises applications and infrastructure. Your weekly review can join your own allocation records, owners and policy limits.

memory

Resource action lists

The platform recommends resource changes. Keep exported action descriptions and their original execution states when bringing the history across.

Action history

IBM distinguishes pending and executed actions. Your own review also needs the business reason, decision and verification evidence you recorded.

Implementation and operating help

IBM offers expert services for planning and deployment. Enterprise DNA scopes your own review process, connections and ongoing operation with you.

Your capacity desk

Four parts of a review you can change yourself

Headroom

See where allocations exceed your reserve

Keep capacity and workload allocations on the same basis, with a named owner for each group.

  • check Allocated processor and memory capacity
  • check Headroom after your reserve policy
  • check Negative headroom shown plainly
  • check Old inventory reviews called out

Measurements

Keep stale evidence out of sizing decisions

Use dated demand measurements and show which workloads still need evidence.

  • check Latest measured demand window per workload
  • check Missing and old measurements listed
  • check Short observation windows excluded from suggestions
  • check Critical workloads labelled for review

Changes

Keep the proposal, decision and outcome together

A suggested size starts a review. Record the test evidence and the result of the change performed by your operators.

  • check Original allocation and measurement preserved
  • check Business reason and rollback instructions recorded
  • check A separate reviewer label with an impact review
  • check Failed and cancelled changes retain the old allocation

Your records

Join the questions your own business asks

Change the fields and review rules around your team, and keep the original export alongside the imported records.

  • check Original action descriptions and extra export fields retained
  • check Follow-ups linked to an imported action
  • check Branded capacity briefs and change records
  • check Your own combinations of owners, measurements and decisions

Switching

How to switch from IBM Turbonomic

The move involves exporting and mapping your action history, loading it alongside separate inventory and measurement inputs, then checking the results against your current operation before you retire IBM Turbonomic.

  1. 1

    Export action history

    Start with the action-list CSV download documented by IBM. Export the action history you want to bring across, including the action descriptions and original execution states. Export options can depend on your account, so check with IBM Turbonomic if you cannot find the download. Keep the original export, since the import retains it and its extra fields.

  2. 2

    Map and test the file

    Inspect the export headings before loading it. Headings can vary, so map the columns to the fields the import expects and test that mapping before importing the full history. Inventory and measured-demand windows are separate inputs, not part of the action-history import. Decide which records and history you need to bring, and prepare those inputs separately.

  3. 3

    Load the records

    Import the mapped action export into the database. The import keeps the vendor wording and original execution states, along with extra fields and the original file. It does not turn imported actions into local approvals. Identical files do nothing, while conflicting IDs or invalid rows cause the entire import to roll back, so check the import result before moving on.

  4. 4

    Review import flags

    Check what the import reports before treating the history as ready. Resolve invalid rows or conflicting IDs, then correct the mapping or source data and try again. Confirm that the imported descriptions and execution states match the source. Add your inventory and measured-demand inputs separately, then review the records and evidence gaps they show.

  5. 5

    Run both, then switch

    Keep IBM Turbonomic running while you use the new database for a short period of capacity reviews, sizing proposals and change records. Compare the results and check that your operators can follow the review process. The database does not provide live discovery, monitoring or resource optimisation. Keep the systems needed for those jobs until their replacement connections and operating controls are connected and tested, then retire IBM Turbonomic.

Where the real effort goes

The main work is usually mapping your own export fields and deciding which action history to bring. You also need to provide inventory and measured-demand inputs separately, then check that the records and evidence suit your capacity policies and operating controls. Enterprise DNA handles the field mapping and reconciliation when you have them build and run your version.

Questions

Instead of IBM Turbonomic, answered

Does the free version replace every part of IBM Turbonomic? expand_more

It covers periodic capacity review, measurement evidence, sizing proposals and change records. Turbonomic also performs live discovery, monitoring and resource optimisation. Enterprise DNA scopes the connections and operating controls your own version needs before you retire those services.

Can we bring our IBM Turbonomic history with us? expand_more

Yes. IBM documents action-list CSV downloads. The free version imports action descriptions and original execution states, keeps extra fields and retains the original file. Export headings vary, so inspect and map them first. Inventory and demand measurements are separate inputs. Enterprise DNA handles that mapping and reconciliation when we build your version.

Will a sizing suggestion change a running server? expand_more

No. A suggestion starts a review. Your operator tests and performs any infrastructure change using your existing controls, then records evidence of the result. The free version changes only its own records. Enterprise DNA can build the approved connections around your operating process.

How do we know the recommendations use current evidence? expand_more

The free version excludes missing, old and short measurement windows from sizing suggestions. It records the evidence behind each proposal and requires a separate reviewer label for approval. Your operator still checks peaks, service requirements and the quality of the original measurements.

How do the costs compare? expand_more

IBM provides a tailored quote on its pricing page and sells managed-server contracts. The free version has no software licence fee; hosting and your chosen agent are separate. Enterprise DNA builds and runs your version for one setup fee, then a retainer. We scope the monitoring connections, records and controls you need before you decide.
