Abstract: A method of reducing power consumption of a server cluster of host systems with virtual machines executing on the host systems is provided. The method includes recommending host system power-on when there is a host system whose utilization is above a target utilization, and recommending host system power-off when there is a host system whose utilization is below the target utilization. Recommending host system power-on includes calculating impact of powering on a standby host system with respect to reducing the number of highly-utilized host systems in the server cluster. Recommending host system power-off includes calculating impact of powering off a host system with respect to decreasing the number of less-utilized host systems in the server cluster.

Abstract: A resource management system and method for performing resource capacity management in a cluster of host computers uses a snapshot of the cluster with one or more ghost host computers added to the cluster to execute a power management analysis. A ghost host computer is a fictitious construct based on a physical host computer. The results of the power management analysis may then be used as a cluster capacity recommendation to increase resource capacity of the cluster of host computers.

Abstract: A method, a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, and a computer system for managing the placement of virtual machines in a virtual machine network are disclosed. In an embodiment, a method involves determining if at least one virtual machine in a set of virtual machines supporting a process and running on a first host computer needs to be separated from other virtual machines in the set. If at least one virtual machine needs to be separated, then at least one virtual machine is selected to be separated based on the number of memory pages changed. The selected VM is then separated from the other virtual machines in the set.

Abstract: One or more embodiments of the present invention provide a technique for effectively managing virtualized computing systems with an unlimited number of hardware resources. Host systems included in a virtualized computer system are organized into a scalable, peer-to-peer (P2P) network in which host systems arrange themselves into a network overlay to communicate with one another. The network overlay enables the host systems to perform a variety of operations, which include dividing computing resources of the host systems among a plurality of virtual machines (VMs), load balancing VMs across the host systems, and performing an initial placement of a VM in one of the host systems.
