Systems and methods for distributing a workload based on a local cooling efficiency index determined for at least one location within a zone in a data center

摘要

A data center workload distribution management system includes a cooling cost engine to determine a cooling cost or cooling capacity for each of a plurality of zones of a data center and a workload distribution engine. The workload distribution engine is to identify the zone that has a lowest cooling cost and sufficient cooling capacity and also has sufficient processing capacity for a workload, determine a local cooling efficiency index for at least one location within the identified zone, and distribute the workload to the location having a local cooling efficiency index that indicates the highest cooling efficiency.

1. A data center workload distribution management system, comprising:
a processor; and a memory storing instructions which when executed by the processor implement; a cooling cost engine to determine a cooling cost or cooling capacity for each of a plurality of zones of a data center, wherein the cooling cost engine;
determines, for each of a plurality of cooling generation means, the zones affected by the cooling generation means and an impact factor of the cooling generation means on each zone;determines a cost of each of the plurality of cooling generation means; andcalculates the cooling cost of each zone based on a weighted average of the cost of each of the cooling generation means and the impact factor of the cooling generation means on a particular zone; and a workload distribution engine to:
identify the zone that has a lowest cooling cost and sufficient cooling capacity and also has sufficient processing capacity for a workload;determine a local cooling efficiency index for at least one location within the identified zone; anddistribute the workload to the location having a local cooling efficiency index that indicates the highest, cooling efficiency.
