SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MINIMIZING CO2 EMISSIONS DUE TO UTILIZATION OF ALLOCATED DATA CENTER MEMORY RESOURCES FOR STORAGE OF FINGERPRINT HASH TABLES

An information handling system executing a predictive hash table and carbon dioxide (CO2) minimizing system may comprise a network interface device to receive from a remote data center deduplication process workload metrics, fingerprint hash table size metrics, and a current reserved memory size allocated for storage of a fingerprint hash table, a processor executing code instructions to predict a future workload of deduplication processes and a future fingerprint hash table size to determine a predicted amount of memory to reserve for storage of a future fingerprint hash table based on the predicted future workload of deduplication processes and fingerprint hash table size, and to determine an over-allocated portion of the current reserved memory size where the network interface device transmits an instruction to the data center to limit power provided to the over-allocated portion of the current reserved memory size.
