Abstract
A method of allocating resources in a rack system includes establishing a budgeted amount of a resource for a defined amount of rack space in a rack system. Electrical modules are deployed in a particular space in the rack system having the defined amount of rack space such that the amount of the resource used by the electrical modules in the particular rack space is maintained within the budgeted amount of the resource.
Claims42
A method of allocating resources in a rack system, comprising:
- assessing:
- an available amount of one or more electrical power resources for a rack system;
- and
- an available amount of one or more cooling resources for a rack system;
- establishing, for a defined amount of rack space in the rack system:
- a budgeted amount for at least one of the electrical power resources;
- and
- a budgeted amount for at least one of the cooling resources,
- wherein the budgeted amount of the at least one electrical power resource is a portion of the assessed available amount of the at least one electrical power resource for the rack system,
- wherein the budgeted amount of the at least one cooling resource is a portion of the assessed available amount of the at least one cooling resource for the rack system;
- deploying one or more electrical modules in a particular space in the rack system having the defined amount of rack space such that:
- the amount of the at least one electrical power resource used by the one or more electrical modules in the particular rack space is maintained within the budgeted amount of the at least one electrical power resource;
- and
- the amount of the at least one cooling resource used by the one or more electrical modules in the particular rack space is maintained within the budgeted amount of the at least one cooling resource.
A method of allocating resources in a rack system, comprising:
- establishing a budgeted amount of a resource for a defined amount of rack space in a rack system;
- and
- deploying one or more electrical modules in a particular space in the rack system having the defined amount of rack space such that the amount of the resource used by the one or more electrical modules in the particular rack space is maintained within the budgeted amount of the resource.
A method of allocating electrical power in a rack system, comprising:
- establishing a budgeted amount of electrical power for a defined amount of rack space in a rack system;
- and
- deploying one or more electrical modules in a particular space in the rack system having the defined amount of rack space such that the amount of the electrical power used by the one or more electrical modules in the particular rack space is maintained within the budgeted amount of electrical power.
A method of allocating a cooling resource in a rack system, comprising:
- establishing a budgeted amount of a cooling resource for a defined amount of rack space in a rack system;
- and
- deploying one or more electrical modules in a particular space in the rack system having the defined amount of rack space such that the amount of the cooling resource used by the one or more electrical modules in the particular rack space is maintained within the budgeted amount of the cooling resource.
