摘要:
Embodiments are directed to virtual machine migration according to environmental data in a data center. One embodiment is a method that analyzes environmental data for a data center having plural servers and migrates virtual machines among the servers to increase cooling efficiency in the data center.

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.

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:
Methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture to shift information technology workload demands are disclosed. An example method disclosed herein comprises obtaining demand profiles for workloads in an information technology infrastructure, each demand profile representing resource utilization over time to support a respective workload, and evaluating the demand profiles to shift, in time, assignment of at least one of the workloads to resources of the information technology infrastructure based on a target demand profile for an aggregation of the workloads.
摘要:
Systems and methods of spot pricing to reduce workload in a data center are disclosed. An example method may include determining a runtime financial aspect of a data center. The method may also include adjusting spot pricing to change workload in the data center and enhance associated power consumption based on the runtime financial aspect.

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.
摘要:
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.
