Abstract
A method for automatically managing the electricity consumption of a server farm including a plurality of nodes, the method including measuring an instantaneous consumption of the server farm; acquiring an instantaneous consumption limit; predicting a future consumption according to a function of at least the instantaneous consumption measurement; and, when the prediction is higher than the acquired instantaneous limit, selecting at least one node and electrically switching off the at least one selected node.

A method for automatically managing an electricity consumption of a server farm comprising a plurality of nodes, the method comprising:
- measuring an instantaneous consumption of the server farm;
- acquiring an instantaneous consumption limit;
- predicting a future consumption according to a function of at least the instantaneous consumption measurement;
- when the prediction is higher than the acquired instantaneous limit then:
- selecting at least one node, and
- electrically switching off the at least one selected node.
