METHODS AND APPARATUS TO CONTROL POWER DELIVERY BASED ON PREDICTED POWER UTILIZATION IN A DATA CENTER

Abstract:

A disclosed example includes: a resource utilization analyzer to determine 1) first workloads of a first workload type deployed in a first server room in a data center, and 2) second workloads of a second workload type deployed in the first server room; a workload authorizer to determine that first virtual machines executing the first workloads and second virtual machines executing the second workloads cause a first server rack to generate an amount of heat; and a migrator to migrate the first virtual machines from the first server rack of the first server room to a second server rack of a second server room in the data center to reduce a temperature in the first server room based on the amount of heat, the migrator to migrate the first virtual machines to the second server rack without migrating the second virtual machines to the second server rack.
