A method for using server power to predict failures includes receiving power consumption data and health alerts of a remote server, analyzing the power consumption data of the remote server to determine trends in the power consumption data, and comparing the trends in the power consumption data and the health alerts with a server failure model. The server failure model is derived from historical power consumption data and health alerts associated with one or more servers of a same type as the remote server. The method includes predicting a failure in the remote server based on the comparison between the trends in the power consumption data and the health alerts and the server failure model and sending an alert in response to the predicted failure. The alert indicates the predicted failure.
