Power Manager
Energy Savings for PCs
Reduce energy costs and reduce your carbon footprint by ensuring PCs use less energy when inactive and are shut down when not needed
Lightspeed Power Manager provides sustainable energy savings across your network. Power Manager monitors energy usage and directs low-power states and shutdown times. Centralized controls allow network administrators to create and enforce conservation policies in sync with the needs of users. A quick return on investment and ongoing cost savings are documented with detailed reports.
Benefits
Energy consumed by unattended, unused computers across your network can drain your budget, as well as natural resources. Yet users and IT staff are often too busy with other tasks to manually manage power usage. Lightspeed Power Manager helps you manage power costs and reduce energy consumption with automated shut-downs.
Saves money. By powering down unused computers, you can save £15 to £45 annually per PC—or £5 to £25 annually by simply powering off the monitor. Power Manager makes it easy to control energy consumption and costs without additional responsibilities to over-stretched IT staff.
Conserves energy. Not only will Power Manager save you money, it will also reduce your network’s overall energy consumption. And because energy conservation is a global concern, green credentials are important.
Offers flexibility and customization. Power Manager balances user needs in tandem with energy conservation. Users will be alerted before a computer is going to shut down, and given the option to bypass the shut-down. You can customize inactivity definitions for your needs.
