Abstract: A disclosed example of managing a network include receiving a packet at a first top-of-rack (ToR) switch via a first load-based teaming (LBT) port; determining whether a network location of a destination node of the packet is unknown; based on the network location being unknown, setting an LBT egress control value in the packet, the LBT egress control value to indicate that the packet is not to be transmitted via a second LBT port of a second ToR switch; and sending the packet from the first ToR switch to the second ToR switch via an inter-switch link between the first and second ToR switches and from the first ToR switch to at least a first host that is identified in the packet as the destination node.

Abstract: A disclosed example includes: a temperature predictor to determine a combined ambient air temperature of a data center during a future duration based on 1) a first ambient air temperature corresponding to heat generated by hardware resources in physical server racks when executing workloads and 2) a second ambient air temperature corresponding to a building structure of the data center; a power utilization analyzer to determine a predicted total data center power utilization for the future duration based on a computing power utilization and a climate control power utilization, the climate control power utilization based on a power utilization corresponding to adjusting the combined ambient air temperature to satisfy an ambient air temperature threshold; and a power manager to configure a power supply station to deliver an amount of electrical power during the future duration to satisfy the predicted total data center power utilization.

Abstract: A disclosed example includes determining that first virtual machines (VMs) corresponding to a first percentage resource utilization indicative of resource usage of a first rack cause the first rack to generate a threshold amount of heat; determining, based on a second percentage resource utilization indicative of resource usage of a second rack, to migrate the first VMs to the second rack to reduce a temperature in a first room by at least the threshold amount of heat; migrating the first VMs from the first rack of the first room to the second rack of a second room; placing the first rack in a low-power state based on the migration of the first VMs to the second rack; and sending a temperature control signal to a climate control system to adjust a cooling process of the climate control system based on the first rack being in the low-power state.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture to optimize or otherwise improve packet flow among virtualized servers are disclosed and described. An example apparatus includes a load balance list generator to identify abstracted network resources in a virtualized network based on a utilization status parameter of the abstracted network resources, generate a load balance list including the identified abstracted network resources, the load balance list including a number of the abstracted network resources satisfying a threshold, and generate a network routing configuration for data packets in the virtualized network based on the generated load balance list. The example apparatus further includes a policy adjustor to adjust a policy of a physical hardware resource corresponding to one of the one or more abstracted network resources based on the network routing configuration to distribute a packet flow among the abstracted network resources.
