Abstract: A method for facilitating increased utilization of a data center includes receiving information about availability of components in a data center's electrical infrastructure and about power consumption of servers in the data center. The method may also include detecting that the power consumption of the servers in the data center exceeds a reduced total capacity of the electrical infrastructure. The reduced total capacity may be caused by unavailability of at least one component in the data center's electrical infrastructure. The method may also include causing power management to be performed to reduce the power consumption of the servers so that the power consumption of the servers does not exceed the reduced total capacity of the electrical infrastructure of the data center.

Abstract: Various embodiments, methods, and systems for implementing a predictive rightsizing system are provided. Predicted rightsized deployment configurations are generated for virtual machine “VM” deployments having deployment configurations that are modified to predicted rightsized deployment configurations based on a prediction engine. In operation, a VM deployment, associated with a request to deploy one or more VMs on a node, is accessed at a predictive rightsizing controller. A predicted resource utilization for the VM deployment is generated at the prediction engine and accessed at the predictive rightsizing controller. The predicted resource utilization is generated based on a prediction engine that uses past behaviors and features associated with previous VM deployments. Based on the predicted resource utilization, a predicted rightsized deployment configuration is generated for the VM deployment.

Abstract: A system estimates a future demand for resources over a first time period to build a datacenter. The resources include construction resources to construct the datacenter and computing resources for the datacenter. The system generates, based on inputs including the future demand, a first schedule of resources to build a first stage of the datacenter over the first time period. The first schedule includes fewer resources than an amount of resources capable of fulfilling the future demand. The system determines a probability of the first schedule not fulfilling the future demand and determines a risk associated with the first schedule based on the probability. The system identifies procedures to employ to mitigate the risk, including oversubscribing resources in the first schedule, lending a portion of the future demand to a peer datacenter, and leasing an additional datacenter, where the first schedule and the procedures minimize cost of building the datacenter.
