Power Save effectively manages computer resources and can greatly reduce annual energy costs.

Enterprise reporting on power saving for both Windows & Mac. 
 
Intelligent Windows energy management

Computer energy management is a financial and environmental priority for organisations today. With the growing demand for customised power setting configurations, many firms are finding the power saving options included with their operating system to be mediocre at best.

 
Why use Power Save?

Power Save goes beyond what the native Windows or Mac operating system provides - in that it is intelligent. Typical operating system power saving techniques only monitor keyboard and mouse activity. Power Save intelligently monitors CPU and disk activity as well as allows critical applications to contine to run. Therefore, Power Save is non-disruptive.

Intelligent Macintosh energy management

Power Save Mac is an effective and reliable tool that can control and manage energy throughout an enterprise. Power Save Mac integrates seamlessly with Apple Remote Desktop (ARD) or any other third-party management utility to allow administrators to deploy their power saving configuration package to a single or multiple computers. Power Save Mac’s configuration screen also allows administrators to intelligently control inactive workstations between regularly scheduled action items.
Save Money

Computers that are not managed properly in downtimes are a financial drain. Power Save is a strategic investment that can attract savings and could even attract rebates from government or power utilties.		 Save Earth

Organisations are looking at ways to reduce their carbon footprint. Power Save allows you to power down your energy hungry workstations.

Faronics Power Save provides system administrators with enterprise-wide control over advanced computer power configurations. With Power Save, computers can now be configured to shutdown, stand-by and hibernate based upon CPU usage, disk activity and application activity. The application activity feature is particularly useful if you would like a system to remain powered on whenever a certain application is running. Power Save even has the ability to generate detailed reports outlining enterprise-wide energy consumption levels and associated costs savings.

Energy Impact
Computers consume energy unncessarily Energy of 1000 PCs/Year is equivalent to:

  • Computers use between 100-300 Watts of power in use.

  • DOE estimates 13% of commercial energy use comes from computers

  • A typical computer is active only 10% of its time

  • 40% of users leave their computers on after working hourse - unnecessary consumption

  • Annual savings estimates are $15.00 - $50.00 per computer/monitor combination

  • 380 tons of carbon dioxide

  • 82.1 passenger cars off the road

  • 43,180 gallons of gasoline

  • 880 barrels of oil

  • 3.1 acres of forest preserved

  • 130 tons of landfill waste avoided
