SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SCHEDULING DATACENTER BUILDOUTS

摘要

A system estimates a future demand for resources over a first time period to build a datacenter. The resources include construction resources to construct the datacenter and computing resources for the datacenter. The system generates, based on inputs including the future demand, a first schedule of resources to build a first stage of the datacenter over the first time period. The first schedule includes fewer resources than an amount of resources capable of fulfilling the future demand. The system determines a probability of the first schedule not fulfilling the future demand and determines a risk associated with the first schedule based on the probability. The system identifies procedures to employ to mitigate the risk, including oversubscribing resources in the first schedule, lending a portion of the future demand to a peer datacenter, and leasing an additional datacenter, where the first schedule and the procedures minimize cost of building the datacenter.
