Abstract

Power consumption of a group of computer systems is managed based on a maximum power consumption for the group. A power budget is determined from the power consumption of each computer system and the maximum power consumption for the group. The power budget identifies a power cap for each computer system in the group. The power caps in the power budget are distributed to the computer systems in the group.
