This risk aversion can be assessed from acognitive system. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the extra costs in curred by maintaining all the machines of a data center executing continuously for fear of damaging hardware, degradating the service, or losing data. To this end, an objective function which minimizes energy consumption depending on the number of times that the machines ares witched on/off is provided. The risk version experienced by these data center administrator scan be measured from the percentage of machines that they are willing to switch off.
