Abstract

A display processing system ( 1 ) includes a display unit ( 208 ) that displays the occurrence status information of a failure, which has occurred due to heat accumulation of a server that provides the service, for a predetermined period of time, according to the level of the effect of failure on the service, and also displays the energy efficiency information of the server for the predetermined period of time so as to be associated with the failure occurrence status information.

3. The display processing system according to claim 2 ,

wherein said efficiency calculation unit calculates, as said energy efficiency information of said server displayed on said display unit, total time of supercooling for which the acquired temperature is equal to or lower than a predetermined temperature in said predetermined period of time.

4. The display processing system according to claim 2 , further comprising:

a power consumption acquisition unit that acquires power consumption of said server,

wherein said efficiency calculation unit calculates, as said energy efficiency information of said server displayed on said display unit, a sum of the acquired power consumption of said server in said predetermined period of time.

5. The display processing system according to claim 4 ,

wherein said efficiency calculation unit calculates, as said energy efficiency information of said server displayed on said display unit, an increasing or decreasing tendency of the calculated sum of said power consumption for said predetermined period of time, and

said display unit presents the increasing or decreasing tendency of the sum of said power consumption for said predetermined period of time.

6. The display processing system according to claim 5 ,

wherein said efficiency calculation unit calculates, as the increasing or decreasing tendency of the sum of said power consumption for said predetermined period of time, a difference between the sum of said power consumption for said predetermined period of time and a predetermined standard value or a change rate of the sum of said power consumption for said predetermined period of time with respect to a predetermined standard value.

7. The display processing system according to claim 6 , further comprising:

a determination unit that determines whether or not said difference or said change rate calculated by said efficiency calculation unit is within an allowable range with respect to said standard value; and

a determination notification unit that notifies a user of a determination result of said determination unit.

8. The display processing system according to claim 1 ,

wherein said display unit displays the calculated energy efficiency information of said server for said predetermined period of time and the calculated degree of effect on the operation of said service for said predetermined period of time so as to be plotted in a state being respectively allocated to axes of a two-dimensional matrix.

9. The display processing system according to claim 8 , further comprising:

a reference determination unit that determines whether or not each of a predetermined threshold value of said energy efficiency information and said degree of effect satisfies a reference value determined in advance,

wherein said display unit displays said reference value of said energy efficiency information and said reference value of said degree of effect using lines extending on said two-dimensional matrix so as to be perpendicular to the axes of said two-dimensional matrix, divides a plot region of said two-dimensional matrix into four parts to generate a first region as a plot region when the calculated energy efficiency information is less than said reference value and the calculated degree of effect is less than said reference value, a second region as a plot region when the calculated energy efficiency information is less than said reference value and the calculated degree of effect is equal to or more than said reference value, a third region as a plot region when the calculated energy efficiency information is equal to or more than said reference value and the calculated degree of effect is less than said reference value, and a fourth region as a plot region when the calculated energy efficiency information is equal to or more than said reference value and the calculated degree of effect is equal to or more than said reference value, and changes and displays a background color of each region on the basis of a determination result of said reference determination unit.

10. The display processing system according to claim 9 ,

wherein said display unit displays an image, which shows said determination result of the calculated energy efficiency information or the calculated degree of effect, in each of said second, third, and fourth regions on the basis of determination result of said reference determination unit.

11. The display processing system according to claim 1 , further comprising:
