Managing computer resources. Workload state information associated with one or more servers in a data center is accessed by a computer, the workload state information comprises workload placement on one or more servers, cooling conditions of the one or more servers, and performance requirements associated with a data center. Cooling state information of cooling resources associated with the one or more servers are accessed by the computer, the cooling state information comprises cooling conditions of the cooling resources. The workload state information and the cooling state information are compared by the computer. Based on the comparing, the computer generates workload repositioning instructions that instruct repositioning of workload on the one or more servers to meet the performance requirements.

In a method for managing a facility that is to receive resources from a first resource supply, a supply of resources available from the first resource supply is predicted for a predetermined period of time. In addition, a demand for resources in the facility during the predetermined period of time is predicted. A capacity schedule for the facility is planned to meet a predefined operational goal, in which the plan of the capacity schedule uses as inputs, the predicted supply of resources available from the first resource supply and the predicted demand for resources in the facility during the predetermined period of time. Moreover, a determination as to whether the planned capacity schedule meets the predefined operational goal is made.
摘要:
A method of maximizing server utilization within a datacenter comprising collocating a number of workloads to a subset of a number of physical servers within a datacenter, adjusting access to resources by critical and non-critical workloads, isolating a number of critical workloads that share resources to the subset of resource instances, and controlling resource utilization of the collocated workloads. A system for collocating workloads in a datacenter, the system comprising a number of servers communicatively coupled to each other and a collocation module that receives information from each server and decides whether to leave a workload running on one of any of the servers on that server, or migrate a workload running on one of the number of servers to another server.

Example methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture to provision data center resources are disclosed. An example method includes provisioning a first portion of data center resources to operate during time intervals based on a base workload for the respective time intervals, the base workload being based on data patterns of a data center and configuring a second portion of the data center resources to operate when an actual workload exceeds a threshold corresponding to the base workload.

A method for automated design of an IT infrastructure, includes a) identifying IT equipment to support services to be provided to meet one or more user requirements; b) identifying one or more auxiliary infrastructures to meet requirements of the identified computer equipment; c) synthesizing the IT equipment and the one or more auxiliary infrastructures to generate a candidate design; d) analyzing one or more operating characteristics of the candidate design; e) repeating steps a)-d) on at least one additional candidate design that differs from the candidate design generated at step c); and f) storing at least one of the candidate design and the at least one additional candidate design.
摘要:
An embodiment includes gathering input data including observed utilizations of allocations and business service response times. The input data is partitioned into a plurality of data sets that include at least one training data set and at least one test data set. A model is generated that predicts responsiveness using the at least one training data set. The model is evaluated using the at least one test data set, and a business service response time distribution is predicted using the model. An embodiment may use a trace-based capacity planning methodology to estimate the impact of planning alternatives on business service responsiveness.
摘要:
In a method for generating a resource management plan for an infrastructure, a resource supply available from a combination of resource sources is determined, an operation of the infrastructure in performing an objective using the determined supply of resources is simulated, in which the simulation is to simulate resource demand of a plurality of infrastructure components in performing the objective, a metric(s) associated with operating the infrastructure based upon the simulation is determined, a determination as to whether the metric(s) satisfies a predetermined goal(s) is made, the resources supplied and/or the simulation of the resource demand of the plurality of infrastructure components is modified in response to the at least one metric failing to satisfy the predetermined goal(s), and a resource management plan for the infrastructure that has been determined to result in the metric(s) satisfying the predetermined goal(s) is generated.
摘要:
A data center workload distribution management system includes a cooling cost engine to determine a cooling cost or cooling capacity for each of a plurality of zones of a data center and a workload distribution engine. The workload distribution engine is to identify the zone that has a lowest cooling cost and sufficient cooling capacity and also has sufficient processing capacity for a workload, determine a local cooling efficiency index for at least one location within the identified zone, and distribute the workload to the location having a local cooling efficiency index that indicates the highest cooling efficiency.
