Abstract
A tool for mobile thermal load balancing in a data center. The tool determines a heat signature pattern for one or more data center units based on a plurality of heat signatures over a pre-determined time period. The tool determines a high heat signature zone within a confined region of the data center based, at least in part, on a current arrangement of the one or more data center units. Responsive to a determination that a high heat signature zone within the data center exceeds a predetermined heat threshold, the tool rearranges the one or more data center units within the high heat signature zone to a region within the data center that balances a thermal load associated with the high heat signature zone across the data center.
