PowerFreeZzz delivers a centralized management of computer power states

Because the energy prices are rising there is need of a central management 
to lower the energy state or to shut down your computers.
 

Without disrupting the end-user, we eliminate wasted energy in order to save money

PowerFreeZzz is adaptive with regards to open applications 
and there is the possibility of the end-user to take the final decision.

Cut your energy bill

Computers very often remain “ON” nights and days without valid reasons. While the focus is made on reducing the electricity consumption of the servers (by virtualization and other energy savings initiatives), the fact remains that computers consume more electricity and produce more CO₂ than the datacenter equipment.

Think about your electric utility bill !

Unfortunately, there is no Operating System which integrates a central power management solution. There are only basic power settings based on end-user inactivity. While the OS integrated power settings may be acceptable during the working hours, extra savings can be realized by applying stronger policies moving the systems into a Standby, Hibernate or Shutdown state. To manage a large quantity of computers, a central tool like PowerFreeZzz is required. 

PowerFreeZzz delivers a centralized management of computer power states during and outside working hours. The standard OS energy saving measures can now be centrally managed with this solution while more power conservative policies can be applied outside working hours.

Increase the life time of your computers

Despite common thinking computers are suffering wear proportional to the amount of time they are up and running. By reducing the total uptime you preserve the lifetime of your computers by avoiding unnecessary mechanical efforts and wear.

Depending on the country the normal weekly employee work time varies between 35 and 45 hours a week. Each day of the week you can save between 13 and 17 hours. If some computers currently stay on during the week-end, you can immediately save 48 hours!

Contribute to corporate social responsibility

Possible savings at desktop computer level are bigger than those at server level. Servers are usually already optimized because the impact is more visible due to their geographic concentration (power consumption and heat dissipation). But, in the professional world, a ratio of 20 by 1 to 50 by 1 is usual. Thus more savings are possible by acting on the computers rather than on the servers.

While datacenters represent 26% of the IT CO₂ produced, and the trend is to reduce this percentage through several techniques as virtualization or infrastructure sharing like the Saas model, computers and computerscreens are responsible for 40% ! And the number of computers will only increase in the future.

So to reduce our CO₂ footprint, the focus has to be made there !

Obtain more comfort

PowerFreeZzz is user friendly and the interface has a clear structure. It is scalable and flexible.

Because the action is no longer dependent on the local end-user to take the final decision, you will get more conformity in your organization.

As said before, the system adapts to specific applications which require a special handling (these have to be predefined) and exceptions are provided.

Improved security

A powered-off computer is not accessible to deliberate or accidental manipulation, which is beneficial for security.
