Abstract
An information handling system stores a service level agreement for an application. The system collects data associated with a network. The data includes a power consumption of an access point of the network. Based on the collected data and the service level agreement of the application, the system determines whether the application is a candidate for migration. In response to the application being a candidate for migration, the system provides a transmit power level increase request to the access point. After the transmit power level increase request is provided, the system provides the application to a remote compute device of the network via the access point.
Claims16
An information handling system comprising:
- a memory to store a service level agreement for an application;
- and
- a processor to communicate with the memory, the processor to:
- determine a proper object identifier for data of an access point of a network;
- provide a data query to the access point to collect the data, wherein the data query includes the proper object identifier;
- collect the data, wherein the data is associated with the network and includes a power consumption of the access point of the network;
- based on the collected data and the service level agreement of the application, determine whether the application is a candidate for migration;
- in response to the application being a candidate for migration, provide a transmit power level increase request to the access point;
- after the transmit power level increase request is provided, increase a transmit power level in the access point;
- when the transmit power level is increased, provide the application to a remote compute device of the network via the access point;
- and
- after the application is provided to the remote compute device, decrease the transmit power level of the access point.
A method comprising:
- storing, by a processor of an information handling system, a service level agreement for an application in a memory of the information handling system;
- enabling a simple network management protocol agent, wherein the simple network management protocol allows the processor to communicate with an access point;
- discovering, via the simple network management protocol, the access point and a remote compute device in a network;
- determining a proper object identifier for data of the access point;
- providing a data query to the access point to collect data associated with the network, wherein the data query includes the proper object identifier:
- collecting the data associated with the network, wherein the data includes a power consumption of the access point of the network;
- based on the collected data and the service level agreement of the application, determining whether the application is a candidate for migration;
- in response to the application being a candidate for migration, providing a transmit power level increase request to the access point;
- after the transmit power level increase request is provided, increase a transmit power level in the access point;
- when the transmit power level is increased, providing, by the processor, the application to a remote compute device of the network via the access point;
- and
- after the application is provided to the remote compute device, decreasing the transmit power level of the access point.
