Turbonomic Performance Dashboard in Envizi

By Jeya Gandhi Rajan M posted Sat April 01, 2023 08:25 AM

  

This blog describes about the Turbonomic Performance Dashboard available in Envizi.

Turbonomic Performance Dashboard in Envizi allows the Sustainability Manager to view and compare the energy and emissions performance of the data centers and assess the performance of deploying Turbonomic Resource Optimization technology.

The dashboard helps to view the following information.

  • Host Energy Consumption by Data Center
  • Host Emissions by Data Center
  • Density of VM to Host by Data Center
  • Intensity of Energy to Host by Data Center

1. Dashboard Home

The dashboard shows the entire organizations Host energy and emission details.

Left Panel

The left side panel shows the following for the entire organization.

  • Host Energy of Current Year (985.8K), Previous Year (1.0M) and variation (-5.2%)
  • Carbon Emissions of Current Year (315.3), Previous Year (342.5) and variation (-7.9%)
  • Average Active hosts (32) and Average Active VMs (509)

So there is a reduction in Host energy consumption and Carbon Emissions this year compared to previous year.

Center Panel

The center panel shows data centers marked in the map.

Right Panel

The right side panel shows the list of data centers ordered based on Host energy consumption.

1.1 Host Energy Consumption by Data Center

  1. Click on any of the data center in the Map.

The left side panel is updated with data center specific data.

Now the panel contains the below values.

  • Host Energy of Current Year (171.8K), Previous Year (243.8K) and variation (-29.5%)
  • Carbon Emissions of Current Year (39.7), Previous Year (51.1) and variation (-22.3%)
  • Average Active hosts (47) and Average Active VMs (961)

The right side panel also highlights the selected data center.

  1. Mouseover on the data center in the map shows the Host energy Consumption graph comparing with the previous year.

The graph shows that energy consumptions are less than last year.

1.2 Host Emissions by Data Center

  1. Click on the Emissions tab in the Center panel.

It refreshes the page with the Emissions details. There is no change to the left panel as it is already showing emission details.

  1. Mouseover on the data center in the map shows the Emissions graph comparing with the previous year.

The graph shows that emissions are less than last year.

1.3 VM:Host Density by Data Center

It shows VM and Host density in the Data center. When more VMs are provisioned in a Host then it would be a effective utilization of the resources. Turbonomic helps to identify the scattered VMs and take appropriate actions.

  1. Click on the VM:Host tab in the Center panel.

It refreshes the page with the VM:Host details.

  1. Mouseover on the data center in the map shows the VM:Host density comparing with the previous year.

The graph shows that VM:Host density is higher than last year.

1.4 Energy:Host Intensity by Data Center

It shows Energy and Host Intensity in the Data center. When more VMs are provisioned in a Host then it would be a effective utilization of the resources. The energy per host would be also hight.

  1. Click on the Energy:Host tab in the Center panel.

It refreshes the page with the Energy:Host details.

  1. Mouseover on the data center in the map shows the Energy:Host Intensity comparing with the previous year.

The graph shows that Energy:Host Intensity is higher than last year.

2. Data Center Summary

Lets look at the data center summary report.

  1. Click on any of the data center in the right panel.

  2. Click on Drillthrough on selected data center button.

It shows the Data Center Summary page.

Left Panel

The left side panel shows the following info related to the selected data center.

  • Name of the Data center
  • Location Id
  • Country
  • Host Energy of Current Year (50.56K), Previous Year (50.56K) and variation (-0.01%)
  • Carbon Emissions of Current Year (19.70), Previous Year (22.21) and variation (-11.29%)
  • Month on Month Host emissions graph.

So there is a reduction in Host energy consumption and Carbon Emissions this year compared to previous year.

Center Panel

The top of the Center Panel shows VM:Host Density vs Host Energy Consumption graph.

The bottom of the Center Panel shows No. of Active Hosts vs No. of Active VMs graph.

2.1 VM:Host Density vs Host Energy Consumption

  1. Click on any of the month in the left panel.

The center panel get refreshed.

  1. Mouseover the in the No. of Active Hosts vs No. of Active VMs section of the graph. It shows
  • The Active Hosts of the month is 21
  • The Active VMs of the month is 345
  1. Mouseover the in the VM:Host Density vs Host Energy Consumption section of the graph. It shows
  • The Host Energy of the month is 4294.02
  • The VM Density of the month is 16.41

2.2 Energy:Host Intensity vs Host Energy Consumption

  1. Click on the Energy:Host tab in the Center panel.

It refreshes the page with the Energy:Host details.

  1. Click on any of the month in the left panel.

The center panel get refreshed.

  1. Mouseover the in the Energy:Host Intensity vs Host Energy Consumption section of the graph. It shows
  • The Host Energy of the month is 4294.02
  • The VM Host Density of the month is 16.41

3. Reporting Period

You can change the report period to show the data between the selected dates.
