Abstract
An approach that manages energy in a data center is provided. In one embodiment, there is an energy management tool, including an analysis component configured to analyze an operating state of each of a plurality of systems within a data center to determine a set of systems from the plurality of systems within the data center that is currently using energy. The energy management tool further comprises a priority component configured to prioritize a routing of a workload to the set of systems from the plurality of systems within the data center that is currently using energy.
Claims24
A method for managing energy in a data center comprising:
- analyzing an operating state of each of a plurality of systems within a data center to determine a set of systems from the plurality of systems within the data center that is currently using energy;
- and
- prioritizing a routing of a workload to the set of systems from the plurality of systems within the data center that is currently using energy.
A system for managing energy in a data center comprising:
- at least one processing unit;
- memory operably associated with the at least one processing unit;
- and
- an energy management tool storable in memory and executable by the at least one processing unit, the energy management tool comprising:
- an analysis component configured to analyze an operating state of each of a plurality of systems within a data center to determine a set of systems from the plurality of systems within the data center that is currently using energy;
- and
- a priority component configured to prioritize a routing of a workload to the set of systems from the plurality of systems within the data center that is currently using energy.
A computer-readable medium storing computer instructions, which when executed, enables a computer system to manage energy in a data center, the computer instructions comprising:
- analyzing an operating state of each of a plurality of systems within a data center to determine a set of systems from the plurality of systems within the data center that is currently using energy;
- and
- prioritizing a routing of a workload to the set of systems from the plurality of systems within the data center that is currently using energy.
A method for deploying an energy management tool for use in a computer system that provides energy management in a data center, comprising:
- providing a computer infrastructure operable to:
- analyze an operating state of each of a plurality of systems within a data center to determine a set of systems from the plurality of systems within the data center that is currently using energy;
- and
- prioritize a routing of a workload to the set of systems from the plurality of systems within the data center that is currently using energy.
