  • Patent number: 11586274
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed regulating an amount of power consumed by a server from a set of power supplies in which at least one power supply of the set is inactive. The power to a server, upon detecting that at least one power supply is inactive, is restricted based on a degree to which a power threshold value for the remaining power supplies is exceeded. The applied power reduction may be based on a proportion of a measurement interval during which an alert signal is received. The longer the alert signal is received by the system, the more server power consumption is reduced.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11567553
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for managing power supplies and related power consumption alerts for a server based on the availability of redundant power supplies. When the system detects that a redundant power supply to a server has ceased to provide power, the system configures a new power consumption threshold for the remaining power supply. The new power consumption threshold is different than an initial power consumption threshold (if configured) when the redundant power supply was providing power. A power consumption threshold for triggering power consumption alerts for a power supply may be based on a number of power supplies actively providing power.
