Reporting

Edit online

The Hybrid IT Optimization Reporting component installs two reports as part of a new reporting collection called "Hybrid IT".

Common KPIs Report

This report focuses on presenting key performance indicators across various operational and financial dimensions.

Infrastructure Optimization Insights – Provider Report

This report is targeted at technical service providers responsible for managing infrastructure optimization.

Target Personas
  • Technical Service Owner (e.g., Head of Compute)
  • IT Finance

Summary Tab

The Summary tab allows users to perform:
  • Trend Analysis for Hybrid Cost, Potential Savings, and Realized Savings
  • Savings Analysis based on key dimensions such as Operational Category, Action Type, and Infrastructure Class
  • A breakdown of Net Savings into Actual Savings vs. Necessary Investments

Financial Insights Tab

The Financial Insights tab enables:
  • A view of Potential Savings by Environment, Vendor, and categories like Direct, Delayed, or Cost Avoidance
  • Pivoting by Offering, allowing insights into financial performance at a Technical Service Owner level
  • COIN Index + Status, pivotable by Owner or Category
  • Unit Economics, showing the relationship between actions and realized savings, which helps prioritize actions with the highest impact

Operational Insights Tab

The Operational Insights tab provides:
  • Pending Action Counts, grouped by Environment and Infrastructure Class
  • Insights into the automation rate of executed actions
  • Optimization Impact, showing how much of the infrastructure is optimized by IBM Turbonomic versus the portion that is either fully optimized or not yet in scope
  • Breakdown of actions into Pending vs. Executed and analysis of total actions, highlighting key areas

Trend Tab

The Trend tab offers the following insights:
  • COIN Trend to monitor the rate of executed vs. pending actions
  • Executed Actions trend over time
  • Pending Actions trends, either decreasing due to more actions being executed or increasing as more infrastructure comes under optimization scope
  • All trends are pivotable by various dimensions

On-Prem Details Tab

The On-Prem Details tab provides:
  • Analysis of Potential Savings and Realized Savings at the Infra ID/Name level
  • Savings quantification based on the unit cost at the Technical Service Offering level, multiplied by the quantity delta specific to each Infra ID
  • Insights into infrastructure without identified optimization opportunities, indicating either fully optimized infrastructure or items not yet in scope

Workbench Tab

The Workbench tab contains:
  • Unit Rate Card, an editable report where users set the Addressable %, along with breakdowns for Direct, Delayed, and Cost Avoidance savings
  • Editable tabs for Target & Settings and Filter Edits

Infrastructure Optimization Insights – Consumer Report

This report provides insights from the perspective of consumers of infrastructure services, primarily application owners.

Target Personas
  • Solution Owner, primarily focusing on the Application Owner
  • This view can be extended to higher-level views, such as Services and Business Units (BU) personas
Key Differences from Provider View
  • Charge is used instead of Cost, as this view is focused on consumption
  • Key dimensions focus on Application-related metadata, such as Business Criticality and Investment Objective
  • It offers fewer granular views, without an On-Prem Details tab or a Workbench Tab

Note: This content is part of an Early Access release and is expected to evolve as customers onboard and provide feedback, leading to further improvements and refinements in the reporting capabilities.
