Server Energy Utilization Analysis
On the Energy Optimization page, click Server Utilization Analysis. You will see the
screen as displayed in the figure below.
By clicking Analyze, low utilization servers will be identified and listed as potential
targets for consolidation to optimize energy efficiency. The time that the analysis was
done is shown in the bottom left of the screen.
If there are a large number of servers, utilization analysis may take a long time. You may
leave this page and perform other operations while the analysis runs in the background.
The Daily Utilization Pattern tab, at the bottom of the page, shows the result of
analyzing server utilization patterns based on the historical monitoring data. This can
help with server consolidation. For example, if one server is busy at night and idle in the
daytime, while another is busy in the daytime and idle at night, you may consider
migrating workload and shutting down one of these 2 servers.
