September 2020 Sprints

Sept 21

We just went live with the current sprint. And some cool features in this release..

Compare with one less node

  • A second set of dials with utilization% on selecting ‘compare’ checkbox(screenshot below)
  • Helps compare and analyze the  scenario and the state(N+1/N+0) with one less node than the optimal recommended
  • Avoid extra steps to go to manual to replicate the above

Bulk edits – Workload section

  • Make bulk edits/changes to workload attributes like vCPU:pcore ratio, or User type(in VDI) etc, particularly helpful for imported workloads
  • Couple of weeks ago, went live with bulk edit for common section [RF, Compression, ECX, snapshot etc]
  • With this, all inputs to a workload can be edited in bulk
  • Currently most major workloads supported for bulk edit : Server Virtualization, VDI, Files and Cluster/Raw

Encryption changes

  • Overall enhancement to Encryption support in Sizer with latest encryption licenses and add-ons
  • Option to choose SW and HW encryption and Sizer adds appropriate encryption license
  • Add-on encryption licenses support for non AOS [Files/Objects/VDI core/Robo]

Other enhancements / Platforms

  • Sizing stats : Usable remaining capacity adjusted for RF and N+1
  • HPE DX: Power calculation and checks for x170r/x190r nodes on DX2200/2600

hi everyone

I’m super excited about the 2nd dials.  Very often SE’s go to pain of changing node count to see what is ilike with one less node (N+1 vs N+0)Then  you want to change something in the original sizing and have to go back and see the impact on N+0We make it easy.  By the way that is an official sizing at N+0.  We don’t just take a percentage difference but do a real sizing and apply all the rules but just with one less node.
