Power management control of remote servers

摘要

Servers, storage medium and methods associated with control of power management services of remote servers of a remote computing service are disclosed herein. In embodiments, a storage medium may have instructions to enable a local server to query a remote computing service having one or more remote servers. The instructions may enable the local server to receive a record from the remote computing service in response to the query. The record may include information related to power management services available from the one or more remote servers. The instructions may enable the local server to transmit power management commands, based on the information, to the remote computing service to at least partially control power consumption by the one or more remote servers. Other embodiments may be disclosed or claimed.

主权项

1. At least one non-transitory computer readable medium having a plurality of instructions stored therein, the plurality of instructions to enable a local server of a customer, in response to execution of the plurality of instructions by one or more processors of the local server, to:
implement a first power management policy on a first group of servers; query a remote computing service, having a second group of remote servers on which a second power management policy is to be implemented, wherein the second group is different than the first group, for information related to power management services available from the remote servers of the second group, wherein the remote computing service is a cloud computing service to which a customer associated with the computing device has subscribed, and wherein the remote servers of the second group are, at least in part, assigned to carry out cloud computing services for the customer; receive encrypted data of a record from the remote computing service in response to the query, the record including the information related to power management services available from the remote servers of the second group, wherein the information includes an indication of one or more of the remote servers of the second group that each include a power management controller and are configured to receive power management commands from the computing device, wherein the one or more power management controllers are to collect power consumption data for at least a power supply, a memory, or a processor of the second group of servers; and transmit power management commands, based on the information, to the remote computing service to manipulate an implementation of the second power management policy so as to at least partially control power consumption of the second group of remote servers.
