Optimize hybrid cloud

Optimize with Turbonomic across hybrid cloud environments for flexible technology management to meet business demands.

Discover how Turbonomic automates resource management across multi-clouds, boosts Kubernetes efficiency, and optimizes cloud spend.

Optimize your cloud environment

  1. Compute
Enable continuous compliance

Turbonomic software automatically determines the correct virtual machine (VM) instance type for your cloud application workloads. The solution uses a wide range of metrics: CPU, GPU, memory, network and storage input/output (IO), throughput, reserved instance inventory, pricing and discounts, disk count, quota and available region.

Cloud storage optimization

Turbonomic software evaluates throughput and IOPS demand to scale to the optimal storage solution for each individual disk. This includes scaling between and within storage tiers, sizing up volumes, modifying IOPS or throughput capacity and deleting unattached storage devices.

Database optimization

Take advantage of platform as a service (PaaS) more completely when you can scale Azure SQL and Amazon RDS database resources exactly when the application needs them, without paying for unused database capacity.

Kubernetes optimization

Turbonomic software optimizes any upstream version of Kubernetes with container rightsizing, continuous pod moves, intelligent cluster scaling and container planning. The intuitive container platform dashboard lets you view the overall performance, capacity and health of your container infrastructure and get insights into top container platform clusters so you can assess their health and sort by risk level.

Reserved instances optimization

Turbonomic software provides specific, automatable compute scaling actions based on utilization so you can fully use existing RI inventory and maximize reservation-to-VM coverage. The software automatically ingests and displays negotiated rates and helps you capitalize on savings opportunities.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Turbonomic's AI-powered software continuously generates hybrid cloud cost optimization actions that dynamically match application demand to infrastructure supply. This helps ensure applications receive exactly what they need to perform at the lowest cost. These actions do not risk performance because our analytics engine accounts for the resource needs and dependencies across the full stack, from application to platform to hardware.

The automatable, scalable solutions Turbonomic software provides allow you to drive efficiency in your cloud usage, improve your cost analysis and maximize the value of your cloud budget.

Turbonomic's analytics engine automatically ingests and displays negotiated rates with public cloud providers. It then generates specific reserved instance purchasing and scaling actions so you can take full advantage of existing RI inventory and maximize reservation-to-instance coverage.

Turbonomic enables you to integrate hybrid cloud cost optimization actions into your pipelines, processes and workflows. With Turbonomic, you can execute automation with ease and achieve immediate outcomes that last.
