Overview:
A typical desktop PC with a 17-inch LCD monitor requires
about 100 watts—65 watts for the computer and 35 watts
for the monitor. If left on 24x7 for one year, this
same computer will consume 874 kilowatt hours of electricity—that’s
enough to release 750 pounds of carbon dioxide into
the atmosphere and the equivalent of driving 820 miles
in the average car!
Faronics Power Save delivers PC power management
that does not interfere with user or IT needs. Power
Save keeps computers running when users need them, accurately
determines when computers are inactive so they can be
powered down, and can prove its rapid return-on-investment
through network-wide power consumption and savings reports.
Power Save's non-disruptive PC power management analyzes
CPU, disk, keyboard, mouse, and application and network
activity before taking computer power management actions.
It is also available for both Windows and Mac computers.
With an average savings of $50 per computer per year
for every computer deployed, Power Save is the ultimate
PC power management software solution for desktop and
laptop computers.
Environments:
Every
educator is concerned about the budget—year after year
administrators are pressured to keep school operations
running smoothly with less and less money. One area
of recognized savings has always been the classroom
computers. By implementing Mac power management, schools
can substantially reduce their energy bill. Most schools
have found this to be difficult to implement as the
standard power saving features that come with computers
are disruptive to user and IT activity. Users can not
afford to have computers power down during classroom
activities or assignments, 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 Mac Power Management
Power Save Mac is designed to look at CPU and Disk
Utilization thresholds that IT administrators can set
so that Power Save Mac will not shut down computers
if background jobs such as VPN, remote access, and remote
backup are running. Power Save Mac 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 students or teachers do not want them to.
Power Save Mac also supports Standby (recommended) and
Hibernate power modes to ensure that any unsaved student
or teacher data is not lost.
Verifiable Savings
Power Save Mac generates accurate reports detailed
by computer and monitor that show the incremental savings
gained through the use of Power Save Mac in both kWH
and $; this data can be exported to any other reporting
tool for additional analysis.
Rapid Return-On-Investment
The average return-on-investment for a Power Save
Mac deployment is 4 months—less if schools take advantage
of energy rebate programs. Faronics has partnered with
the largest energy utilities in North America to offer
rebates that make Power Save Mac 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.
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 power. When asked how IT
can assist, IT Directors point out that they need a
non-disruptive solution in order to help reduce Mac
computer power costs. However, most IT departments have
found this to be difficult to implement as the standard
power saving features that come with Mac 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 Mac Power Management
Power Save Mac is the only Mac power 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 Mac is designed to look at CPU and

set so that Power Save Mac will not shut down computers
if background jobs such as VPN, remote access, and remote
backup are running. Power Save Mac allows IT administrators
