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 translation: 提供了一种使用在主机系统上执行的虚拟机来降低主机系统的服务器集群的功耗的方法。 该方法包括当存在利用率高于目标利用率的主机系统时建议主机系统上电，并且当存在利用率低于目标利用率的主机系统时推荐主机系统断电。 推荐的主机系统开机包括计算对备用主机系统的上电影响，以减少服务器集群中高度利用的主机系统的数量。 建议主机系统关机包括计算关闭主机系统的影响，以减少服务器集群中较少使用的主机系统的数量。
