Method and system for dynamically allocating and optimizing power resources

A system for dynamically allocating power resources in an information handling system, the system comprising:

• a central controller connected to a plurality of automatic transfer switches;
• a plurality of power zones, wherein each of the plurality of power zones includes a plurality of server devices, wherein each of the plurality of automatic transfer switches are connected to at least one of the plurality of power zones;
• and
• a power pool connected to a power source,
• wherein the power pool is connected to the central controller, the central controller being configured to dynamically allocate the power of the power pool to the at least one of the plurality of power zones by causing the system to:
• (i) retrieve a power usage measurement from a plurality of server devices, (ii) determine in real time whether the plurality of server devices include at least one of a power gap and at least one of a unused power supply, (iii) determine in real time a power distribution strategy based on determining whether the plurality of server devices include at least one of determining the power distribution strategy in real time, direct power in real time to at least one of the plurality of server devices based on the determined power distribution strategy.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium having stored thereon instructions for performing a method comprising machine executable code that when executed by at least one machine, causes the machine to:

• retrieve a power usage measurement from a plurality of server devices within at least one of a first set of server devices and at least one of a second set of server devices;
• determine in real time whether the plurality of server device include at least one of a power gap and at least one of unused power supply;
• upon determining in real time whether the plurality of server device include at least one of the power gap and at least one of the unused power supply, determine a power distribution strategy in real time based on the power gap and the unused power supply;
• and
• upon determining the power distribution strategy in real time, direct power in real time to at least one of the plurality of server devices within the at least one of the first set of server devices and the at least one of the second set of server devices based on the determined power distribution strategy.
