摘要： Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for power optimization via virtualization opportunity determination. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for power optimization via virtualization opportunity determination can be provided. The method can include monitoring power utilization in individual server hosts in a cluster and determining a set of the server hosts in the cluster demonstrating low power utilization. The method also can include selecting a subset of server hosts in the set and migrating each VM in non-selected server hosts in the set to the subset of server hosts. Finally, the method can include powering down the non-selected server hosts.
