ABSTRACT:
Power consumption by a computer system may vary all the time based upon software and the workload. Facility such as data centers host multiple of computer systems. With continuous growing demand for power and cooling of computer systems, data centers face limitations on their ability to provide the power and cooling capability. These limitations are occasionally exasperated by problems in either power or cooling systems. The computer systems may have a method to maintain total power consumption below a set target level. An enterprise power and thermal manager, EPTM, may change this setting dynamically to improve efficiency of supporting power and cooling infrastructure. In addition, the EPTM may use this ability to improve performance, availability and to provide ability to implement various administrative policies.
