Abstract
Power consumption by a first host included in a plurality of hosts in a clustered computing system, where each of the hosts executes one or more applications, is managed by detecting that a utilization level of the first host falls below a threshold value and, responsive to the detecting, migrating one or more applications executing on the first host to a second host. After the migration is completed, the first host is caused to consume less power while remaining powered on.
