Abstract
Methods and systems of determining an optimum power-consumption profile for virtual machines running in a data center are disclosed. In one aspect, a power-consumption profile of a virtual machine and a unit-rate profile of electrical power cost over a period are received. The methods determine an optimum power-consumption profile based on the power-consumption profile and the unit-rate profile. The optimum power-consumption profile may be used reschedule the virtual machine over the period.
