Education
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 PC power
management, schools can substantially reduce their power bill. Most
schools have found this to be difficult to implement as the standard
energy 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 PC Power Management
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 students or teachers do not
want them to. Power Save also supports Standby (recommended) and
Hibernate power modes to ensure that any unsaved student or teacher
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 PC power 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 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 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.
Corporate / Government
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 PC
power costs. However, most IT departments have found this to be
difficult to implement as the standard PC power management 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 PC Power Management
Power Save is the only PC power management tool on the market
today that eliminates computer energy waste 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

Rapid Return-On-Investment
The average return-on-investment for a Power Save deployment is 8
