Power management control of remote servers
First Claim
1. An apparatus to control power consumption of computer hardware of computer servers, the apparatus comprising:
- one or more processors; and
a datacenter management control module, to be operated on the one or more processors, to;
receive a request to increase capacity of a server pool having one or more first servers of the computer servers, the request from a computing device associated with the server pool;
determine, based on encrypted data of at least one record obtained from the computer servers, an available second server of the computer servers with available capacity to meet or contribute to meeting the requested capacity, wherein the available second server includes a power management controller to collect power consumption data for one or more of a power supply, a memory, or a processor of the available second server, wherein the available second server is a remote cloud server in a different subnet than a subnet of the one or more first servers of the server pool and the computing device;
add or facilitate addition of the available second server to the server pool; and
transmit power management commands to the second server added to the server pool to at least partially control power consumption of the second server provided with the power management commands.

11. A method for controlling power consumption of computer hardware of computer servers, the method comprising:
-
receiving, by a datacenter infrastructure management controller, a request to increase capacity of a server pool having one or more first servers of the computer servers, the request from a computing device associated with the server pool; determining, by the datacenter infrastructure management controller and based on encrypted data of at least one record obtained from the computer servers, an available second server of the computer servers with available capacity to meet or contribute to meeting the requested capacity, wherein the available server includes a power management controller to collect power consumption data for one or more of a power supply, a memory, or a processor of the available second server, wherein the available second server is a remote cloud server in a different subnet than a subnet of the computing device; adding or facilitating adding, by the datacenter infrastructure management controller, the available second server to the server pool; and transmitting, by the datacenter infrastructure management controller, power management commands to the second server added to the server pool to at least partially control power consumption of the second server provided with the power management commands. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. At least one non-transitory computer-readable medium having a plurality of instructions stored therein, and configured to enable a computing apparatus, in response to execution by one or more processors of the computing apparatus, to:
-
receive a request to increase capacity of a server pool having one or more first servers of computer servers, the request from a computing device associated with the server pool; determine, based on encrypted data of at least one record obtained from the computer servers, an available second server of the computer servers with available capacity to contribute to the requested capacity, wherein the available second server includes a power management controller to collect power consumption data for one or more of a power supply, a memory, or a processor of the available second server, wherein the available second server is a remote cloud server in a different subnet than a subnet of the one or more first servers of the server pool and the computing device; add or facilitate addition of the available second server to the server pool; and transmit power management commands to the second server added to the server pool to at least partially control power consumption of the second server. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
