Abstract

A device includes an estimation module, a ratio module, and a recommendation module. The estimation module is adapted to receive a first performance level and a first power consumption level associated with a current server, and adapted to estimate a second performance level and a second power consumption level associated with a first target server based on the first performance level and the first power consumption level. The ratio module is adapted to determine a first performance ratio between the first performance level and the second performance level, and adapted to determine a first power consumption ratio between the first power consumption level and the second power consumption level. The recommendation module is adapted to determine whether to suggest a migration from the current server to the first target server based on the first performance ratio and the first power consumption ratio and adapted to output a first migration determination.
