Abstract: A heat exchanger system having an IT container having an inner chamber containing the media from which heat is to be pulled, and further having an outer surface to which is attached corrugated columns of thermally conducting material, cooling water pipes through the corrugated columns supplied with cooling water, at least the outer surface of the container and the corrugated columns is composed of metal and the outer surface of the container is separated from the inner surface by insulator material. It also contains a temperature monitor and controller for controlling the cooling system based upon the environment temperature to save energy.

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.

Abstract: An automated method of managing computing resources having a workload of a given type comprises providing resource data collectors for collecting data regarding performance of the resources, such as a server network, in accordance with the type of workload; developing a forecast of utilization of the resources, based on historical performance data; and collecting real-time performance data regarding the resources running under the workload. The method then includes analyzing the performance data and the forecast to identify a critical resource: and automatically adjusting a capacity of the resource to provide steady-state performance of the resource under the workload. Additional hardware resources such as CPUs, computer memory and computer disk storage are initially available to, but unused by, the computing resources.
