  • 1.  Internal vs. External Cloud

    Posted 02/16/16 12:26 PM

    Has anyone mapped their company's own internal cloud in Apptio to see how it stacks up to external cloud providers?  We currently do this in a spreadsheet, but would love to move it over to Apptio.  In looking at the Data Advisor and even the Azure Mapping files I've come across, I'm not seeing anything that calls out internal elements specifically - or maybe (probably) I'm looking at this wrong.  Open for insight and suggestions.  Thanks!

    Hi Jenny,

     

    I see nobody has made a specific comment on your question yet, apologies for that. Comparison of Private Cloud vs Public Cloud is generally achieved by defining these as server characteristics under the "Virtualization Profile" column in Server Master Data. When Business Insights is activated, comparison of these profiles will then be populated as part of the OOTB report content included with the Server Optimization component.

     

    Assuming your Apptio contact has given you instructions on how to see the Apptio Reference Project, you should be able to open the reference project, and navigate to the sample report for this under the "Server - analyze spend & usage" button.

     

    Hope this helps!

     

    Regards, Ian.
