With the current release, Sizer introduces two new capabilities .. Compute-only/Storage-only nodes and linking Frontline quotes:
- Compute-only/Storage-only nodes:
Cluster settings has Node type to select only HCI solution(or with CO or SO options)
Supports the DBOptimized nodes (CO+SO) as part of AOS 6.6.2
In UI, the nodes will be tagged as CO or SO to identify the node types
In manual mode, you can treat a node as CO or SO by tagging
As you know, this should help creating a solution especially on databases optimizing on 3rd party licenses
Linking quotes
All Frontline quotes generated for that scenario can be referenced via ‘Related quotes’ pop-up
Includes quoteId link along with the status and date created/modified
This will be helpful in tracking the scenarios to quotes for past or future reference
We will be soon coming up with a concept of primary sizing(locking it once quote is created) and allow edit only on clone. This would help avoid 1 to many mappings and better tracking.
Other enhancements:
Discounts pre-filled in budgetary quote is more aligned with good/target discounts from Frontline
Expert cluster templates – models changed to NG8
NC2 clusters max limits-13 for NC2/Azure and 28 for NC2/AWS
vCPU:pcore for imported workloads – using exact ratio (no rounding off)
Have a great week!
