Patent Images
1. A method for environmentally cognizant power management in a computing environment, comprising the steps of:
- gathering a first level of server power metrics;
gathering a second level of server power metrics;
gathering environmental metrics;
generating a behavior model based on at least the first level of server power metrics, the second level of server power metrics and the environmental metrics; and
distributing an application load in the computing environment based on applying the behavior model to application, utilization and environmental contexts.
