Abstract

Managing computer resources. Workload state information associated with one or more servers in a data center is accessed by a computer, the workload state information comprises workload placement on one or more servers, cooling conditions of the one or more servers, and performance requirements associated with a data center. Cooling state information of cooling resources associated with the one or more servers are accessed by the computer, the cooling state information comprises cooling conditions of the cooling resources. The workload state information and the cooling state information are compared by the computer. Based on the comparing, the computer generates workload repositioning instructions that instruct repositioning of workload on the one or more servers to meet the performance requirements.
