Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for reducing variations in power consumption. In one aspect, a system includes a power controller communicatively coupled to a power source and a plurality of computing devices of an Information Technology (IT) stack electrically coupled to the power source. The controller configured to perform operations including monitoring variations in power consumption of the plurality of computing devices, determining, for the plurality of computing devices and based on the monitored power consumption, a power consumption profile for the plurality of computing devices that describes historical statistics of the power consumption, reducing variations in power consumed by the IT stack by adjusting performance of devices consuming power from the power source or adjusting which devices in the IT stack are consuming power from the power source based on a change in the power consumption and the power consumption profile.
