ABSTRACT:
A method and system for determining an optimal order for rebooting servers in a data center. After an abnormal shutdown event in a data center, a power restoration management (PRM) server detects a restoration of power capable of being available for a rebooting of servers in the data center. A power restoration management program automatically and dynamically determines an optimal order for rebooting the servers, where the order is a result of applying policies based on weighted factors. The PRM server or a manual process reboots the servers in the determined order. The rebooting includes an enhancement of a financial position of an organizational entity associated with the data center. The enhancement of the financial position includes increasing a financial profit of the organizational entity or decreasing a financial loss of the organization entity.
