IT Visibility - TI Platform: Key Enhancements to the PBI reports – Live now! (September 2025)

Business Services Insights – Sustainability Enhancements

We are excited to announce the latest enhancement to the Business Services Insights Power BI report, now incorporating Sustainability data and visuals. This update expands the report’s scope beyond software (SW), hardware (HW), and vulnerability insights, providing users with a holistic and unified view of their business services including their environmental impact.

What’s New

• Integrated Sustainability Data
  • Carbon footprint and energy consumption metrics are mapped to the same Business Service dimension for consistency. (Manufacturer Provided)
• New Visuals & Analysis
  • Added visuals to highlight carbon footprint and sustainability impact by Business Service.
  • Dedicated/combined page to view sustainability alongside SW, HW, and Vulnerability insights.
• Filtering & Comparison
  • Users can filter, segment, and compare sustainability insights alongside technology and risk data for a service-level view.

Why This Matters

• Customer-Driven Value – Directly addresses customer feedback requesting sustainability insights as part of service evaluations.
• Strategic Alignment – Strengthens alignment with ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) initiatives, enabling users to make decisions that consider both technology and environmental responsibility.
• Unified Experience – Empowers users to see software, hardware, vulnerability, and sustainability data in one place, ensuring better-informed, data-driven decisions.

Business Impact

This release transforms the Business Services Insights report into a strategic tool for both IT and sustainability leaders. By unifying technology and environmental perspectives, organizations can balance risk, performance, and sustainability goals ultimately supporting more responsible and forward-looking business decisions.

Host-VM Relationship Report – Virtualization Type Enhancements

We have expanded the Host-VM Relationship Power BI report to include Virtualization Technology visibility. Previously, the report only provided VM and Host data. With this release, customers gain deeper insights into their virtualization environments by viewing and filtering based on the specific virtualization technologies in use.

What’s New

• VM-Host data with enhanced Virtualization Type.
• Report Updates
  • Power BI charts, filters, and tables now display Virtualization Type as an additional dimension.
• Consistent labeling applied across the platform: Eg
  • Hyper-V VM → hyperv
  • Solaris Zone VM → zone
  • Nutanix VM → nutanixvm
  • VMware → vmware

Why This Matters

• Customer Value – Provides greater transparency into virtualization footprints, addressing customer demand for more granular visibility.
• Operational Clarity – Helps IT teams quickly identify and differentiate between virtualization technologies in their environment.

Business Impact

This enhancement enables organizations to make more precise infrastructure and lifecycle decisions by factoring in virtualization type. It strengthens the Host-VM Relationship report as a critical tool for managing hybrid and multi-virtualization environments, driving efficiency and improving technology governance.
