Abstract:
1. A method for use in deploying computers into a data center, comprising: receiving, with a computing system, data that indicates power drawn by a first plurality of computers in a data center operating under a plurality of operating conditions; determining, with the computing system and using the received data, a power draw of at least one computer operating under an operating condition that is different from at least a portion of the first plurality of operating conditions, where the power draw is different from an expected peak power draw, and the operating condition comprises an application being performed by the at least one computer; calculating, with the computing system, an expected peak power draw for the plurality of computers in the data center, wherein the expected peak power draw for the plurality of computers is less than a sum of individual expected peak power draws for each computer from the plurality of computers; and generating based on the expected peak power draw and a power capacity of the data center, a deployment plan of a second plurality of computers into the data center.
