DATA CENTER CONTROL
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method of data center control, the data center including a plurality of racks and at least one cooling unit, the racks including at least one server, the method comprising:
- receiving information regarding the at least one cooling unit, the at least one server, the plurality of racks, and at least one application;
receiving a rack based cooling metric threshold; and
determining a layout of the data center that minimizes total power consumption of the plurality of racks and the cooling unit while maintaining cooling performance at an acceptable level based on the threshold.
