Claim Text:
1. A storage enclosure comprising: a first electronics module; a second electronics module configured to provide redundant functionality to the first electronics module; a first power supply module associated with the first electronics module; and a second power supply module associated with the second electronics module and configured to provide redundant functionality to the first power supply module, the second power supply module being a sole source of the redundant functionality of that enclosure; wherein each of the first and second electronics modules and each of the first and second power supply modules is individually associated with a separate power profile dedicated to that module, the power profile of each given module including one or more programmable power parameters that determine when to power down and power up that given module during operation of the storage enclosure, wherein a separate power profile associated with the second power supply module powers down the second power supply module during a copy or move of data from the storage enclosure to a remote location, wherein the separate power profiles of the first and second power supply modules comprise a trigger condition to individually power down the first and second power supply modules when a workload of the storage enclosure falls below a predetermined threshold.
