The Overview page is the landing view when you open an IT Environment or a Workspace in OneIQ, giving IT teams an at-a-glance summary of that environment. It consolidates inventory, capacity, performance, and optimization insights across your virtual, physical, and storage estate, organized by platform type so you can quickly assess the health and footprint of your infrastructure.

The Overview page is organized into three summary tabs, with shared controls across the top of the screen.

​

To explore your environment, follow these steps:

The Virtual Summary tab provides a complete picture of your virtualized environment across datacenter and cloud platforms.

Displays cluster-level inventory and density metrics, including the number of clusters, hosts, and VMs, along with ratios such as VMs per cluster, VMs per host, and vCPUs per core. Capacity totals cover total memory, total CPUs, total cores, and total vCPUs, with a platform breakdown bar showing the share of each virtualization platform.

Breaks down virtual machines by operating system family (for example, Linux, Microsoft Windows Server, or Ubuntu Linux) and shows an OS support status bar indicating which systems are Supported, Unsupported, Sunsetting, or Unknown — useful for spotting lifecycle and compliance risks.

Summarizes the full virtual machine estate, including total VMs, powered on, powered off, total vCPUs, memory size, and total storage, with a platform breakdown. This section also surfaces utilization metrics such as average CPU utilization, peak CPU utilization, peak CPU usage (GHz), and peak memory used, alongside storage capacity, Storage I/O (IOPS, I/O throughput, and I/O latency shown as peak read, peak write, peak total, and 95th-percentile total), and network bandwidth throughput.

Highlights optimization opportunities, including the number of right-sizable VMs, removable VMs, reclaimable vCPUs, and reclaimable memory — helping you identify where capacity can be recovered.

Provides performance-over-time charts for compute utilization, memory utilization, IOPS, I/O throughput, I/O latency, and network throughput, so you can observe trends and detect anomalies across the selected time range.

The Physical Summary tab focuses on the underlying hardware in your environment.

Breaks down physical infrastructure by OEM vendors (for example, Lenovo or HYVE), CPU vendors (such as Intel), and hardware age — useful for refresh planning and identifying aging equipment.

Lists physical hosts by operating system family and shows an OS support status bar indicating Supported versus Unsupported systems.

Summarizes physical inventory and capacity, including total machines, hosts, total CPUs, total cores, and memory size, with a platform breakdown and CPU utilization metrics (average and peak).

The Storage Summary tab consolidates storage capacity and usage across the environment.

Shows total capacity and used capacity for physical storage infrastructure.

Displays total capacity and used capacity (in TiB) for virtual clusters.

Provides two perspectives on VM storage: provisioned capacity (the virtual machine storage footprint at the underlying datastore, shown as provisioned total and provisioned used) and logical capacity (the operating-system perspective of storage requirements, shown as logical total and logical used).

Two action buttons at the top of the Overview page let you take your environment data further:

The Transform button moves your selected workloads into Design Automation, OneIQ's infrastructure sizing and modeling feature. After selecting entities (clusters, hosts, or virtual machines), clicking Transform lets you configure a design scenario that sizes hardware based on real-world performance data rather than manual calculations. For full details, see Design Automation.

The Report button generates exportable reports for offline analysis, documentation, and presentations. Options include an Infrastructure Snapshot (PowerPoint), an Entities Report (Microsoft Excel) with a worksheet per entity type, and an Insights Report (Microsoft Excel) of right-sizing recommendations. Each report uses a selectable historical time range, and all exported data is presented using 95th-percentile values. For full details, see Generating Reports and Exports in OneIQ.

💡 Tip: Apply filters and set your time range before generating a report so that only the desired data is included.
