A system and method to establish and dynamically control energy consumption in large-scale datacenters or IT infrastructures

摘要

A system and method for establishing and dynamically controlling energy consumption in large-scale data centers or IT infrastructures. The system including a primary configuration server, a router coupled to the primary configuration server, and a plurality of power-managed domains/clusters coupled to the router. The primary configuration server distributes an energy target to each of the power-managed domains/clusters over a predetermined interval to enable each of the power-managed domains/clusters to manage the power consumption for each of the power-managed domains/clusters to meet the energy target.
