Faronics
Power Save
Be Green, Save Green
Overview:
- Faronics Power Save significantly reduces workstation power costs, with the average customer saving up to $50 per machine, per year.
- Power Save was specifically developed as not to hinder day-to-day operations, allowing IT to set strict parameters on when energy-saving actions are implemented. No unwanted power-downs and no lost productivity.
Automated Energy Conservation
Faronics Power Save dramatically reduces an organization's operating costs by eliminating unnecessary computer energy consumption. In fact, for every 1,000 computers Faronics Power Save is deployed on, organizations will save up to $50,000 per year. Faronics Power Save keeps computers running when users need them, powers them down when they are inactive, and can prove its rapid return-on-investment through energy savings reports. Power Save is also non-disruptive—it analyzes CPU, disk, network, keyboard, mouse, and application status before taking power management actions.
