Powerdown 1.1

Powerdown minimises energy use and maximises cost savings by controlling the power state of individual computers. Idle computers are turned off or placed in a low power state and can be automatically restarted for maintenance or operational purposes. Powerdown can reduce IT energy consumption by up to 40% resulting in savings of up to £30 per PC per year

Powerdown offers centralised management of computer power consumption with simple, fully automated deployment. It is suited to all managed and unmanaged computing environments and is the ideal solution for standalone computers, home networks, small businesses, educational establishments and fully managed corporate computing environments. Unlike competing solutions Powerdown does not rely on computers being connected to the network to achieve energy savings and it is also the only solution specifically designed with electrical safety and the needs of laptop users in mind.

Features include
* centralised enforcement and optimisation of OS power settings
* scheduled shutdowns and automatic restarts even when computers are disconnected from the network
* simple management and configuration
* specific support for laptops
* optimised for electrical safety
* full Active Directory integration and management via Group Policy
* no-touch automated deployment possible

Powerdown can also encourage greater staff awareness of the environmental impact of computer usage and has a key role to play in supporting corporate social responsibility strategies. Powerdown has a positive environmental benefit and can eliminate up to 300kg of carbon emissions per PC per year.
