Abstract
Techniques for power savings in communications equipment are provided. The computer-implemented method can comprise identifying, by an electronic device operatively coupled to a processing unit, one or more connectivity requirements of one or more servers associated with a data center. The computer-implemented method can also comprise determining, by the electronic device, a defined graph that satisfies the one or more connectivity requirements. The computer-implemented method can further comprise powering down, by the electronic device, one or more elements of the data center that are not required by the defined graph; and powering up, by the device one or more nodes of the data center, which are in any state other than power up, that are required by the defined graph.
