System and Method to Identify Power Savings

A device comprising:

• an estimation module adapted to receive a first performance level and a first power consumption level associated with a current server, and adapted to estimate a second performance level and a second power consumption level associated with a first target server based on the first performance level and the first power consumption level;
• a ratio module in communication with the estimation module, the ratio module adapted to determine a first performance ratio between the first performance level and the second performance level and adapted to determine a first power consumption ratio between the first power consumption level and the second power consumption level;
• and
• a recommendation module in communication with the ratio module, the recommendation module adapted to determine whether to suggest a migration from the current server to the first target server based on the first performance ratio and the first power consumption ratio and adapted to output a first migration determination.

A computer readable medium comprising a plurality of instructions to manipulate a processor, the plurality of instructions comprising:

• instructions to receive a first performance level and a first power consumption level of a current server;
• instructions to estimate a second performance level and a second power consumption level of a first target server based on the first performance level and the first power consumption;
• instructions to calculate a first performance ratio between the first performance level and the second performance level;
• instructions to calculate a first power consumption ratio between the first power consumption level and the second power consumption level;
• instructions to determine whether to recommend the first target server based on the first performance ratio and the first power consumption ratio;
• and
• instructions to output a migration determination.
