  • Patent number: 12656844
    Abstract: Various mechanisms and workflows are described that can utilize power and/or carbon footprint-based metrics to manage storage unit usage and/or configuration, which can provide a more efficient and environmentally friendly computing environment. In some example configurations, storage system management mechanisms collect power consumption for storage units (e.g., individual drives, storage shelfs, nodes, clusters) and can utilize the power consumption information with other storage unit characteristics to generate power and carbon footprint metrics.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 27, 2023
    Date of Patent: June 16, 2026
    Assignee: NETAPP, INC.
    Inventors: Abhishek Hiregoudar, Edward John Barron, II, Gregory Eugene Stabler
