Abstract
An apparatus, method and program product determines information indicative of a performance differential between operation of a computer with the standby resource activated and operation of the computer with the standby resource inactivated. The information is communicated to a user. The standby resource may be activated in response to the determination.
Claims23
A method of managing resources within a computer system having a selectively activated standby resource, the method comprising:
- determining information indicative of a performance differential between operation of the computer system with the standby resource activated and operation of the computer system with the standby resource inactivated;
- and
- outputting the information.
A method of rendering invoices for providing dynamically allocated resources based on resource activation, the method comprising:
- determining a performance differential between operation of the computer system with a standby resource activated and operation of the computer system with the standby resource inactivated;
- and
- providing the performance differential to a user.
A method of managing resources within a computer system having a standby resource, the method comprising:
- determining a first result for while the standby resource is inactive;
- determining a second result for while the standby resource is active;
- comparing the first and second results;
- and
- outputting information indicative of the comparison.
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- a selectively activated standby resource in communication with the processor;
- a memory;
- and
- program code resident with the memory, the program code configured to determine information indicative of a performance differential between operation of a computer with the standby resource activated and operation of the computer with the standby resource inactivated, the program code being further configured to initiate the output of the information.
A program product, comprising:
- program code managing resources within a computer system having a selectively activated standby resource, wherein the program code is configured to determine information indicative of a performance differential between operation of the computer with the standby resource activated and operation of the computer with the standby resource inactivated, the program code being further configured to initiate the output of the information;
- and
- a computer readable signal bearing medium bearing the first program.
