Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure include a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions for controlling at least one uninterruptible power supply (UPS) configured to provide power to at least one server executing one or more services, the instructions instructing at least one processor to receive an indication of the services initiating a shutdown procedure, determine that a predicted shutdown time (PST) of the shutdown procedure exceeds a baseline shutdown time (BST) to perform the shutdown procedure, the BST being less than an available runtime of the UPS, control the UPS to continue providing power to the server responsive to determining that the PST is less than the available runtime and that the PST exceeds the BST, receive an indication that the shutdown procedure is successfully executed over an actual shutdown time (AST), and update the BST responsive to determining that the AST is different than the BST.
