Abstract
The present principles are directed to utility aware uninterruptible power supplies. A method includes evaluating services, including service combinations, from among a set of services provided by a computing facility operating under an energy constraint, to select a subset of services to power down or maintain powered so as to maximize a total utility value of the computing facility while operating under the energy constraint. The method further includes powering down, or maintaining power to, the selected subset of services.
