Abstract
Systems, methods and/or computer program products for managing the temperature of datacenter during a period of malfunction or inoperability of the cooling system responsible for maintaining temperatures within the datacenter. Temperatures of the datacenter's computing systems are monitored by thermal imaging systems and/or sensors. Computing systems are also monitored for how frequently the systems are accessed during a defined period of time and the number of mission critical deployments by each computing system. Collected parameters, including temperature, frequency of access and number of running mission critical applications are imputed into a scoring algorithm which uses the collected parameters and weightings to generate a ranking of computing systems to shutdown sequentially in response to rising temperatures. As temperatures rise above a target temperature, computing systems with the highest score (and the lowest amount of risk) are shutdown, lowering the temperature of the datacenter until the cooling system becomes operation again.
