PROVISIONING DATA CENTER RESOURCES
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method to provision data center resources, comprising:
- provisioning a first portion of data center resources to operate during time intervals based on a base workload for the respective time intervals, the base workload being based on data patterns of a data center; and
configuring a second portion of the data center resources to operate when an actual workload exceeds a threshold corresponding to the base workload.

8. An apparatus to provision data center resources, comprising:
-
a base workload processor to determine a base workload for a first portion of the data center resources based on a representative workload pattern, the base workload being substantially constant during time intervals; a predictive controller to provision the first portion of the data center resources to operate during the time intervals based on the determined base workload for the respective time intervals; and a reactive controller to configure a second portion of the data center resources to operate when an actual workload exceeds the base workload. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A tangible article of manufacture storing machine-readable instructions that, when executed, cause a machine to at least:
-
determine a representative workload pattern during a time period based on data patterns of a data center, the time being period partitioned into time intervals; determine a base workload for a first portion of the data center resources for the time intervals based on the representative workload pattern, the base workload being substantially constant during respective ones of the time intervals; provision the first portion of the data center resources to operate during the time intervals based on the base workload; and configure a second portion of the data center resources to operate when an actual workload exceeds a threshold corresponding to the base workload. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
