Abstract: A system, method and non-transitory computer readable storage medium are disclosed for managing workload in a data center. The method includes receiving, at a workload manager, energy consumption information associated with at least one of a first data center and a second data center that is geographically distanced from the first data center. The method further includes receiving workload information associated with at least one of the first data center and the second data center, and transmitting, as controlled by the workload manager, at least part of workload scheduled to be processed at the second data center to the first data center based on at least one of the energy consumption information and the workload information.

Abstract: A system, method and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are disclosed for managing workload in data centers. The method includes receiving information associated with at least one of energy consumption and a temperature of nodes each data center of a group of distributed data centers to yield received information. The method further includes analyzing workload associated with at least one second data center of the group of distributed data centers to yield an analysis of the workload, and modifying use of resources of the group of distributed data centers based on the received information and the analysis of the workload. One application can include migration of workload from one data center to another data center based on a variety of factors.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for dynamically reserving resources within a cluster environment. The method embodiment of the invention comprises receiving a request for resources in the cluster environment, monitoring events after receiving the request for resources and based on the monitored events, dynamically modifying at least one of the request for resources and the cluster environment.
