    Abstract: A system and method for affecting computing resources. The method includes sensing variables associated with spatially dispersed computing resources and providing sensed data in response thereto. Subsequently the spatially dispersed computing resources are selectively automatically affected based on sensed variables associated with the computing resources. In a specific embodiment, the method further includes determining if the sensed data meet a predetermined criterion or criteria and providing one or more control signals in response thereto. The specific method further includes moving virtual machines associated with computing resources that meet the predetermined criterion or criteria to computing resources that do not meet the predetermined criterion or criteria. The sensed data may include temperature, and the predetermined criteria or criterion may include a predetermined threshold beyond which temperature data is considered to meet the predetermined criterion. In an illustrative embodiment, the method further includes selectively activating one or more devices, such as cooling systems, that are adapted to alter sensed variables to cause the sensed data to no longer meet the predetermined criterion or criteria.

    Abstract translation: 影响计算资源的系统和方法。 该方法包括感测与空间分散的计算资源相关联的变量并响应于此提供感测数据。 随后,基于与计算资源相关联的感测变量,空间分散的计算资源被选择性地自动影响。 在具体实施例中,该方法还包括确定感测到的数据是否满足预定的标准或标准,并响应于此提供一个或多个控制信号。 具体方法还包括移动与满足预定标准或标准的计算资源相关联的虚拟机,以计算不符合预定标准或标准的资源。 所感测的数据可以包括温度,并且预定的标准或标准可以包括预定阈值,超过该预定阈值,温度数据被认为满足预定标准。 在说明性实施例中,该方法还包括选择性地激活适于改变感测变量的一个或多个设备,例如冷却系统,以使感测到的数据不再符合预定的标准或标准。
