Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A data center system management device receives power configuration information for one or more power groups. Each power group has one or more servers. The power configuration information has a power group power limit for each power group. The power budgets are sent to server control units within each power group. Messages are received from each of the server control units, the messages including information to indicate whether servers in the power groups have a power deficit or a power surplus, and a number of power units for the power deficit and power surplus for each server. The server power budgets of the one or more servers in each of the one or more power groups based on power deficits and power surpluses within each power group using a priority based reallocation mechanism.
