Abstract: Aspects of performing power management operations in a distributed computer system are described. In some aspects, predicted demand data is generated for clients executed in a cluster of host computers. The predicted demand data is based on observed resource demands of the clients. A power management setting for a time period is determined. The power management setting is based on the predicted demand data. A host computer is caused to power-down or power-up in order to apply the power management setting.

Abstract: A resource management system and method for performing resource capacity management in a cluster of host computers uses a snapshot of the cluster with one or more ghost host computers added to the cluster to execute a power management analysis. A ghost host computer is a fictitious construct based on a physical host computer. The results of the power management analysis may then be used as a cluster capacity recommendation to increase resource capacity of the cluster of host computers.

Abstract: A resource management system and method for performing resource management operations in a distributed computer system uses a dispersion rule to try to uniformly disperse clients in a cluster of host computers in the distributed computer system. The dispersion rule is used to compute a dispersion score for at least one candidate distribution of the clients in the cluster of host computers, which is used to select a particular candidate distribution of the clients in the cluster of host computers to disperse the clients.

Abstract: A system and method for managing resources in a distributed computer system that includes at least one resource pool for a set of virtual machines (VMs) utilizes a set of desired individual VM-level resource settings that corresponds to target resource allocations for observed performance of an application running in the distributed computer system. The set of desired individual VM-level resource settings are determined by constructing a model for the observed application performance as a function of current VM-level resource allocations and then inverting the function to compute the target resource allocations in order to meet at least one user-defined service level objective (SLO). The set of desired individual VM-level resource settings are used to determine final RP-level resource settings for a resource pool to which the application belongs and final VM-level resource settings for the VMs running under the resource pool, which are then selectively applied.

Abstract: A system and method for autoscaling a multi-tier application, that has components executing on a plurality of tiers of a virtual data center, allocates resources to each of the plurality of tiers based on cost and performance. An application performance is determined, and a new application performance is estimated based at least partially on an application reservation and an application limit. An optimized utility of the application is calculated based on the cost to execute the application, the application reservation, and the application limit. A scaling factor for each tier is then determined to scale up or down a number of virtual machines operating in each of the tiers.
