Abstract
A method and system for dynamically allocating power resources. The system includes a central controller connected to automatic transfer switches. The system also includes power zones. Each of the power zones includes server devices. Each of the automatic transfer switches are connected to at least one of the power zones. The system also includes a power pool connected to a power source. The power pool is connected to the central controller configured to dynamically allocate power of the power pool to the power zones.
Claims16
A method for dynamically allocating power resources, the method comprising:
- retrieving a power usage measurement from a server device within at least one of a first set of server devices and at least one of a second set of server devices;
- determining whether the server device comprises at least one of a power gap and unused power supply;
- upon determining whether the server device comprises at least one of the power gap and the unused power supply, determining a power distribution strategy;
- and
- directing power to the server device within the at least one of the first set of server devices and the at least one of the second set of server devices based on the determined power distribution strategy.
A system for dynamically allocating power resources, the system comprising:
- a central controller connected to a plurality of automatic transfer switches;
- a plurality of power zones, wherein each of the plurality of power zones comprising a plurality of server devices, wherein each of the plurality of automatic transfer switches are connected to at least one of the plurality of power zones;
- and
- a power pool connected to a power source, wherein the power pool is connected to the central controller configured to dynamically allocate power of the power pool to the at least one of the plurality of power zones.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium having stored thereon instructions for performing a method comprising machine executable code that when executed by at least one machine, causes the machine to:
- retrieve a power usage measurement from a server device within at least one of a first set of server devices and at least one of a second set of server devices;
- determine whether the server device comprises at least one of a power gap and unused power supply;
- upon determining whether the server device comprises at least one of the power gap and the unused power supply, determine a power distribution strategy;
- and
- direct power to the server device within the at least one of the first set of server devices and the at least one of the second set of server devices based on the determined power distribution strategy.
