Systems and methods are described for facilitating operation of a plurality of computing devices. Data indicative of enumerated resources of a computing device is collected. The data is collected without dependency on write permissions to a file system of the one computing device. A condition of the computing device is determined based on historical data associated with enumerated resources of other computing devices. The identified condition can be updated as updated historical data becomes available. A communication to the computing device may be sent based on the identified condition.

Configuration assessment based on inventory

Various methods and systems for implementing resource management for an infrastructure are provided. Resource management includes datacenter byproduct management interfaces, datacenter power management, datacenter operations optimization and infrastructure resource management. Resource management facilitates using and distributing physical resources, including incidental physical resources that are generated during operation of an infrastructure, based on a threshold reserve of the physical resource associated with the operating the infrastructure. Resource management can include controlling an amount of the physical resource that is generated and an amount the physical resource that is reserved. The threshold reserve in combination with the control over generating and reserving the physical resource help identify an allocable amount of the physical resource. Physical resources of an infrastructure are quantified to support resource management. Quantifying physical resources is associated with devices of the infrastructure and requests for physical resources in the infrastructure to perform different types of operations.

Datacenter operations optimization system

Various methods and systems for implementing resource management for an infrastructure are provided. Resource management includes datacenter byproduct management interfaces, datacenter power management, datacenter operations optimization and infrastructure resource management. Resource management facilitates using and distributing physical resources, including incidental physical resources that are generated during operation of an infrastructure, based on a minimum threshold reserve of the physical resource associated with the operating the infrastructure. Resource management can include controlling an amount of the physical resource that is generated and an amount the physical resource that is reserved. The minimum threshold reserve in combination with the control over generating and reserving the physical resource help identify an allocable amount of the physical resource. Physical resources of an infrastructure are quantified to support resource management. Quantifying physical resources is associated with devices of the infrastructure and requests for physical resources in the infrastructure to perform different types of operations.

Datacenter power management system

Infrastructure resource management system

The subject disclosure is directed towards a submerged datacenter, which may be made up of modules, into a body of water such as the ocean. The submersion facilitates cooling of the datacenter as well as providing protection of the datacenter from environmental conditions that exist at or near the surface. Power may be generated from the datacenter heat, and power generated by or near the body of water (e.g., via waves, tides, wind, currents, temperature differences) may be used to help power the datacenter.

Datacenter byproduct management interface system

Various systems and methods for device resource enumeration are described herein. In one example, an enumeration module may include logic executable at a networked device. The enumeration module may be configured to enumerate resources of the networked device without dependency on write permissions to a file system of the networked device, and generate a data object stored in a memory unit of the networked device based on the enumerated resources.

Networked device resource enumeration

The subject disclosure is directed towards a datacenter or partial datacenter (e.g., a datacenter module) contained in a sealed container. The container may be filled with a cooling fluid, such as a dielectric fluid, to help cool the datacenter components. The container and its internal datacenter or datacenter portion may be submerged in water, in which event the fluid also helps to equalize the external water pressure.
