All4Green will:
-
Create a software system, including agent based technology to optimize the interactions between all actors in the data centre ecosystem:
- The solution is a modular plug-in that can be used on data centres of all computing styles
- The plug-in is data centre automation/monitoring framework agnostic (capitalizing on components developed in FIT4Green project)
- The solution will be deployed using minimal resources inside the data centre and will have Web interface for external actors (ICT end users and power provider)
-
Promote the pervasive spread of Green-SLAs with users and therefore:
- Increase degrees of freedom for data centre energy optimizations
- Lower data centre energy consumption
- Allow the data centre to exchange energy plans with power provider and save money through “special offers”
-
Demonstrate the viability of lower prices of services for users accepting Green-SLAs
- Contribute to power provider/producer efficiency
- Data centre is a large power consumer and can heavily contribute to Power production balancing and affect energy source mix
- Workload deferring based on shared Power Plans
- The power provider will pay back the data centre with discounted power prices and incentives for collaboration
-
Contribute to the adoption of data centre federation as a mean of improving Green-SLAs
- Workload migration based on shared Power Plans
