Overview
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.
An add-on to your Lightspeed implementation, 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
Power Manager offers valuable benefits to schools that want to easily reduce utility costs and energy consumption.
Saves money.
By powering down unused computers, you can save $25 to $75 annually per PC—or $10 to $40 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 rebates may be available to your school.
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.
Learn how you can enjoy more cost-saving and time-saving benefits by combining Power Manager with the other components in Total Traffic Control, a comprehensive solution for filtering, securing, managing, and monitoring your school network.
