Abstract
A data center management system can include a data center customer profile corresponding to a data center customer, where the data center customer profile includes a service level agreement (SLA) and a data center resource usage model. A batch job quality of service (QoS) control module can determine an immediate QoS specification for a batch job of the data center customer, and a data center resource optimization module can determine a data center resource allocation for the data center customer based on the data center customer profile and the immediate QoS specification.
Claims13
A data center management system, comprising:
- a memory storing a data center customer profile corresponding to a data center customer, the data center customer profile comprising:
- a service level agreement (SLA);
- and
- a data center resource usage model;
- and
- a processor configured to execute:
- a batch job quality of service (QoS) control module operable to determine an immediate QoS specification for a batch job of the data center customer based at least in part on a remaining data center resource requirement that is determined at least in part by an extended interval QoS specification for the batch job and a stochastic model of data center resources needed to complete the batch job;
- and
- a data center resource optimization module operable to determine a data center resource allocation for the data center customer based at least in part on the data center customer profile and on the immediate QoS specification;
- and
- a data center customer cost determination module operable to determine a data center customer cost representing a cost to the data center of providing data center resources to the data center customer, wherein the batch job QoS control module is operable determine the immediate QoS specification for the batch job based at least in part on the data center customer cost.
A machine-controlled method, comprising:
- a batch job quality of service (QoS) control module determining an immediate QoS specification for a batch job of a data center customer, wherein the data center customer has a data center customer profile comprising a service level agreement (SLA) and a data center resource usage model, wherein the immediate QoS specification is based at least in part on a remaining data center resource requirement that is determined at least in part by an extended interval QoS specification for the batch job and a stochastic model of data center resources needed to complete the batch job;
- and
- a data center resource optimization module determining a data center resource allocation for the data center customer based at least in part on the data center customer profile and on the immediate QoS specification;
- and
- a data center customer cost determination module determining a data center customer cost representing a cost to the data center of providing data center resources to the data center customer, wherein the immediate QoS specification for the batch job is based at least in part on the data center customer cost.
