In this work, we propose a two-step methodology for designing and sizing data center solely powered by local renewable energy. The first step consists in determining the necessary IT equipment processing given workload composed of batch service tasks. We an adapted binary search algorithm prove its optimality to find minimum number servers handle workload. When is computed, second defining supp...

For many years the coordination of surveys in Australia has been encouraged through the placement and connection to the growing network of survey marks (SMs) in each state. The connection of cadastral surveys to the survey mark infrastructure has facilitated the improvement and maintenance of other spatial databases such as the Digital Cadastral Data Bases (DCDB’s). These networks of survey mar...

IT Infrastructure Management and server downtime have been an area of exploration by researchers and industry experts, for over a decade. Despite the research on web server downtime, system failure and fault prediction, etc., there is a void in the field of IT Infrastructure Downtime Management. Downtime in an IT Infrastructure can cause enormous financial, reputational and relationship losses ...

Enterprises have been consolidating their servers within on-premises data centers to optimize their entire information technology (IT) infrastructure, and they are now working to create private clouds through virtualization. The operation of an on-premises data center follows a “runbook” that describes the procedures to be taken in a step-by-step manner for either daily operations or emergency ...

Feature modeling is a widely used method in systems engineering. Feature models help to communicate the requirements and architecture of IT systems. Applying feature models to IT infrastructure is a rare explored field in system development. We advocate using feature modeling for designing IT infrastructure to give an additional perspective on systems architecture and implement functions and pr...

Cloud Computing has caught the imagination of the CIOs across the world with rapid scalability being the most important feature of Cloud Computing, with very high degree of provisioning capability from the Cloud vendors in comparison to on premise IT infrastructure. It provides for the shift of spend from capital expenditure in IT budgets to a more flexible and manageable operating expenditure ...
