Abstract:
1. Method of controlling a network computing cluster providing IT-services, the network computing cluster comprising one or more network computing stations and one or more power autarkic network computing stations supplied by one or more associated local power generators, the one or more power autarkic network computing stations and the one or more local power generators being connected with a local power network, wherein the method comprises determining an amount of locally generated power generated by the one or more local power generators, sending, dependent on the amount of locally generated power, a control signal to a resource managing unit of the network computing cluster via a communication network, the control signal indicating the ability of the one or more power autarkic network computing stations to process IT-services, receiving, by the resource managing unit, said control signal via the communication network, sending, by the resource managing unit and triggered by said control signal, a signal for transferring an IT-service processed by a network computing station of the one or more network computing stations to said network computing station via the communication network, and transferring said IT-service processed by said network computing station to one of the one or more power autarkic network computing stations via the communication network for further processing the IT-service.
