Companies today are finding that ‘going green’ is not only environmentally responsible,
it is also fiscally smart. Decreasing the amount that organizations consume and
dispose of helps reduce company carbon footprints and costs. Therefore, Facilities,
Operations, and Energy Managers are looking for verifiable ways to save energy.
When asked how IT can assist, IT Directors point out that they need a non-disruptive
solution in order to help reduce computer energy costs. However, most IT departments
have found this to be difficult to implement as the standard energy saving features
that come with computers are disruptive to employee and IT activity. Employees can
not afford to have computers power down during business activities or projects,
and IT personnel require computers to be on during maintenance and update sessions.
Forced to leave the computers running all day and night, IT is either unable or
unwilling to power computers down when they are not in use.
Non-Disruptive Energy Management
Power Save is the only energy management tool on the market today that eliminates
wasted energy on computers without disrupting existing IT administration processes
and without impacting critical user applications or data. Power Save is designed
to look at CPU and Disk Utilization thresholds that IT administrators can set so
that Power Save will not shut down computers if background jobs such as VPN, remote
access, and remote backup are running. Power Save allows IT administrators to specify
critical programs that are exempt from power down if they are running. CPU and Disk
Utilization combines with this feature to ensure that systems are not powered down
when employees or IT do not want them to. Power Save also supports Standby (recommended)
and Hibernate power modes to ensure that any unsaved user data is not lost.
The ability to schedule Power Save configuration updates on a single, daily, weekly,
or monthly basis allows IT administrators to effortlessly make changes to enterprise
energy management policies.
Verifiable Savings
Power Save generates accurate reports detailed by computer and monitor that show
the incremental savings gained through the use of Power Save in both kWH and $;
this data can be exported to any other reporting tool for additional analysis.
Power Save's Audit mode provides a baseline measure of the energy being consumed,
making it easy to determine the true value of the savings generated when Power Save's
features are enabled.
Rapid Return-On-Investment
The average return-on-investment for a Power Save deployment is 8 months—less if
companies take advantage of energy rebate programs. Faronics has partnered with
the largest energy utilities in North America to offer rebates that make Power Save
free or available at a 50% discount. Faronics and its channel partners are also
able to assist you with the paperwork to make this process easy and quick, and eliminate
problems where rebates return to general revenue instead of your departmental budget.
