Provided is a process of autonomous distributed workload and infrastructure scheduling based on physical telemetry data of a plurality of different data centers executing a plurality of different workload distributed applications on behalf of a plurality of different tenants.

Autonomous distributed workload and infrastructure scheduling

Provided is a process of managing rack-mounted computing devices in a data center with a distributed peer-to-peer management system, the process including: determining roles of data-center management computing devices in a distributed peer-to-peer data-center management system; receiving, via an out-of-band network, a data-center management command at a given data-center management computing device; distributing, based on at least some of the roles, via the out-of-band network, the data-center management command.

Data center network device sensing

Provided is a process, including: receiving, with a rack-controller, via a first network, an application program interface (API) request; based on the API request, selecting, with the rack-controller, one of a plurality of routines to effectuate control via the second network of at least some of the plurality of rack-mounted computing devices; executing, with the rack-controller, the selected routine and, as a result, sending one or more commands via the second network encoded in a second protocol different from the first protocol to effectuate an action indicated by the API request.

Data center management with rack-controllers

Provided is an external secondary computing device configured to monitor or control a rack-mounted computing device independently of whether the rack-mounted computing device is operating or is turned off via a low-pin-count motherboard bus independently of a baseboard management controller.

Data center management via out-of-band, low-pin count, external access to local motherboard monitoring and control

Role-based command distribution across networks

Provided is a method of localizing rack-mounted computing devices, the method comprising: receiving, with a direct current (DC) power bus or via an Ethernet control network or data network, a request from a control unit for a rack computing device location; generating, with a sensor, output signals conveying information related to a location of the rack-mounted computing device; and sending, with the direct current (DC) power bus or via an Ethernet control network or data network, location information of the rack-mounted computing device.
