Abstract

The network computing cluster includes one or more network computing stations and one or more power autarkic network computing stations supplied by one or more associated local power generators. The power autarkic network computing stations and the local power generators are connected with a local power network. A control signal is sent to a resource managing unit of the network computing cluster via a communication network. The control signal indicates the ability of the power autarkic network computing stations to process IT-services. The resource managing unit receives the control signal via the communication network. Triggered by the control signal, the resource managing unit sends a signal for transferring an IT-service processed by a network computing station of the network computing stations to the network computing station via the communication network. The processed IT-service is transferred to one of the power autarkic network computing stations via the communication network.
