Usage Scenario
Description
Power Consumption Benefits
4. Disaster recovery/
business continuity
policies
Prioritize business-critical workloads to continue to run
normally, while power capping less critical workloads and
allowing total power and cooling requirements to fit
within diminished capacity during HVAC malfunction or
power excursion.
Maintain business continuity for most
business-critical workloads.
5. Data center
energy reduction
Gain power-aware support for multiple service classes to
enforce multiple SLAs across different populations of users
with different priority workloads.
Meet different SLAs for different users or
different workloads.
