Abstract
Generally disclosed herein is a mechanism to manage the thermal control of servers equipped in a data center based on the measurements of the power consumption of each server and each thermally critical component in the server system. A controller may monitor the power consumption of one or more components or one or more servers and trigger responsive cooling action by one or more cooling fans based on changes in the power consumption. In this regard, the cooling fans are proactively activated prior to temperatures reaching high levels, thereby efficiently maintaining safe operating temperatures in the data center for the computing devices and/or for occupational safety.
