  • Correlating server power and server utilization for deriving billing from power consumption data
    Patent number: 11734099
    Abstract: A method for billing server utilization based on power includes receiving power consumption data of a remote server used by a customer, deriving a power-utilization correlation between power consumption of the remote server with utilization of the remote server, determining utilization of the remote server from the power consumption data and the power-utilization correlation, preparing a bill for the customer based on the determined utilization of the remote server, and sending the bill to the customer.
    Type: Grant

  • Using server power to predict failures
    Patent number: 11461161
    Abstract: A method for using server power to predict failures includes receiving power consumption data and health alerts of a remote server, analyzing the power consumption data of the remote server to determine trends in the power consumption data, and comparing the trends in the power consumption data and the health alerts with a server failure model. The server failure model is derived from historical power consumption data and health alerts associated with one or more servers of a same type as the remote server. The method includes predicting a failure in the remote server based on the comparison between the trends in the power consumption data and the health alerts and the server failure model and sending an alert in response to the predicted failure. The alert indicates the predicted failure.
