Abstract: A data processing system storage unit for storing a plurality of data processing systems is disclosed. In one example of the storage unit, a plurality of storage spaces, each storage space configured for storing a data processing system, is provided. An air inlet duct and an air outlet duct allow air circulation within the storage unit. A plurality of inlet conduits, each inlet conduit configured to connect the inlet air duct to an inlet port of a data processing system, provides air supply to the data processing system. A plurality of outlet conduits, each outlet conduit configured to connect the outlet air duct to an outlet port of a data processing system, provides air exhaust from the data processing system. The example storage unit may also provide a primary air transfer system configured for directing air into the air inlet duct and/or for extracting air from the air outlet duct.

Abstract: A method of creating a new virtual machine in a hypervisor server using a virtual machine setup profile is disclosed. A virtual machine setup profile method is selected from a plurality of virtual machine setup profiles. Then, system information is retrieved from the hypervisor server. The system information includes available computing resources in the hypervisor server. Thereafter a number of virtual machines that can be hosted in the hypervisor server based on the available computing resources is calculated and a number of new virtual machines are created in the hypervisor server.
