  • Patent number: 11003239
    Abstract: A method for power consumption management in a datacenter. A processor retrieves a power usage model and historical power data for devices in the datacenter and calculates a first supply power from a power supplier that is available for distribution to the datacenter during a load shedding time period. A first power usage for the datacenter is calculated during the load shedding time period. The method further includes determining if the first supply power is greater than the first power usage for the datacenter during the load shedding time period. In response to determining that the first supply power is not greater than the first power usage, a first device in the datacenter is identified to reduce power consumption. The first device in the datacenter is triggered to reduce power consumption during the load shedding time period.

  • Patent number: 9596158
    Abstract: Systems and methods for Common Information Model (CIM) object transfer via requestor statistical tracking. In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, a computer-implemented method may include providing, via an Information Handling System (IHS), a management console for a CIM environment, wherein the CIM environment includes a plurality of hosts accessible to the console via a network, and wherein each of the hosts has remote agent(s); creating a request to collect data from the remote agent(s), wherein the request follows a Web Services-Management (WS-Man) protocol, the request specifies a timeout and a maximum number of elements to be included in the remote agent(s)' responses, and the maximum number of elements is calculated to allow the remote agent(s) sufficient time to respond to the request prior to expiration of the timeout; and transmitting the request to the remote agent(s).
