Abstract: Techniques for managing power loads of a data center include electrically coupling a data center infrastructure power load and a data center IT power load in a power distribution system having a specified power capacity, the infrastructure power load including a plurality of infrastructure power loads associated with at least one of a data center cooling system, a data center lighting system, or a data center building management system, and the IT power load including a plurality of IT power loads associated with a plurality of rack-mounted computing devices; determining that a predicted amount of the IT power load is about equal to or greater than a threshold power value; throttling the infrastructure power load to reduce a portion of the power capacity used by the infrastructure power load; and based on throttling the infrastructure power load, increasing another portion of the power capacity available to the IT power load.
