Abstract: Power and redundancy management policies are applied individually to the tiers of redundant servers of an application service such that power is reduced while maintaining a high level of system availability. Servers which are determined to be relatively inactive are moved to a free pool. Certain servers of the free pool are maintained in a hot standby state, while others are powered-off or set to operate in a low power mode. During times of high load, the servers in the hot standby state can be provisioned quickly into the application service.

Abstract: A method for managing power consumption of multiple computer servers is disclosed. The number of computer servers required to meet a current workload demand is initially determined. Next, a thermally optimized configuration of powered-on computer servers to meet the current workload demand is determined. At least one computer server is powered on or powered off, based on the thermally optimized configuration.
