Abstract
A method implemented in a computer infrastructure having computer executable code tangibly embodied on a computer readable medium being operable to perform a thermal analysis of a data center and overlay the thermal analysis on a map of the data center to provide an overlaid thermal analysis. Additionally, the computer executable code is operable to dynamically control at least one partition in the data center based on the overlaid thermal analysis.

23. A computer program product comprising a computer usable medium having readable program code embodied in the medium, the computer program product includes at least one component operable to:
-
perform a thermal analysis of a data center by receiving real-time temperature readings from at least one temperature sensor in the data center; and
at least one of;determine average temperatures for regions of the data center based on the real-time temperature readings; and determine air flow paths in the data center; overlay the thermal analysis on a map of the data center to provide an overlaid thermal analysis; dynamically control at least one partition in the data center based on the overlaid thermal analysis; and dynamically control an HVAC system based on the overlaid thermal analysis and a location of the at least one partition.

24. A method comprising:
providing a computer infrastructure operable to; perform a thermal analysis of a data center to identify cooler regions of the data center and hotter regions of the data center; overlay the thermal analysis on a map of the data center to provide an overlaid thermal analysis which correlates the cooler regions of the data center and the hotter regions of the data center with computational resources of the data center; dynamically control at least one partition in the data center based on the overlaid thermal analysis; and dynamically control an HVAC system based on the overlaid thermal analysis and a location of the at least one partition.
