Abstract

An information handling system stores a service level agreement for an application. The system collects data associated with a network. The data includes a power consumption of an access point of the network. Based on the collected data and the service level agreement of the application, the system determines whether the application is a candidate for migration. In response to the application being a candidate for migration, the system provides a transmit power level increase request to the access point. After the transmit power level increase request is provided, the system provides the application to a remote compute device of the network via the access point.

Claims (49)

1 . An information handling system comprising:

a memory to store a service level agreement for an application; and

a processor to communicate with the memory, the processor to:

determine a proper object identifier for data of an access point of a network;

provide a data query to the access point to collect the data, wherein the data query includes the proper object identifier;

collect the data, wherein the data is associated with the network and includes a power consumption of the access point of the network;

based on the collected data and the service level agreement of the application, determine whether the application is a candidate for migration;

in response to the application being a candidate for migration, provide a transmit power level increase request to the access point;

after the transmit power level increase request is provided, increase a transmit power level in the access point;

when the transmit power level is increased, provide the application to a remote compute device of the network via the access point; and

after the application is provided to the remote compute device, decrease the transmit power level of the access point.

2 . The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the data further includes a latency of the network, resources available in the network, and an overall power consumption of the network.

3 . The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the data associated with the network is collected via a remote monitoring device, wherein the remote monitoring device is configured to communicate with the information handling system and with the access point.

4 . The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein a simple network management protocol agent is a containerized service capable of being exectued in the access point.

5 . The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the service level agreement includes a power and performance requirement for the application.

6 . The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the service level agreement includes a latency level, a performance level, a power consumption level, a carbon footprint level, a reliability level, and an efficiency level.

7 . A method comprising:

storing, by a processor of an information handling system, a service level agreement for an application in a memory of the information handling system;

enabling a simple network management protocol agent, wherein the simple network management protocol allows the processor to communicate with an access point;

discovering, via the simple network management protocol, the access point and a remote compute device in a network;

determining a proper object identifier for data of the access point;

providing a data query to the access point to collect data associated with the network, wherein the data query includes the proper object identifier:

collecting the data associated with the network, wherein the data includes a power consumption of the access point of the network;

based on the collected data and the service level agreement of the application, determining whether the application is a candidate for migration;

in response to the application being a candidate for migration, providing a transmit power level increase request to the access point;

after the transmit power level increase request is provided, increase a transmit power level in the access point;

when the transmit power level is increased, providing, by the processor, the application to a remote compute device of the network via the access point; and

after the application is provided to the remote compute device, decreasing the transmit power level of the access point.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the data further includes a latency of the network, resources available in the network, and an overall power consumption of the network.

9 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the data associated with the network is collected via a remote monitoring device, wherein the remote monitoring device is configured to communicate with the information handling system and with the access point.

10 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the simple network management protocol agent is a containerized service capable of being exectued in the access point.

11 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the service level agreement includes a power and performance requirement for the application.

12 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the service level agreement includes a latency level, a performance level, a power consumption level, a carbon footprint level, a reliability level, and an efficiency level.

13 . An information handling system comprising:

a memory to store a service level agreement for an application; and

a processor to:

enable a simple network management protocol agent, wherein the simple network management protocol allows the processor to communicate with an access point;

discover, via the simple network management protocol, the access point and a remote compute device in a network;

determine a proper object identifier for the data of the access point;

provide a data query to the access point to collect data associated with a network, wherein the data query includes the proper object identifier;

collect the data associated with the network, wherein the data includes a power consumption of the access point of the network;

based on the collected data and the service level agreement of the application, determine whether the application is a candidate for migration;

if the application is a candidate for migration, then provide a transmit power level increase request to the access point;

after the transmit power level increase request is provided, increase a transmit power level in the access point;

when the transmit power level is increased, provide the application to a remote compute device of the network via the access point; and

after the application is provided to the remote compute device, decrease the transmit power level of the access point.

14 . The information handling system of claim 13 , wherein the simple network management protocol agent is a containerized service capable of being exectued in the access point.

15 . The information handling system of claim 13 , wherein the data further includes a latency of the network, resources available in the network, and an overall power consumption of the network.

16 . The information handling system of claim 13 , wherein the service level agreement includes a power and performance requirement for the application.
