Energy consumption facts

According to the US Department of Energy (DOE), total world consumption of electricity increased 36% from 1994 to 2004. This growth in electricity consumption is fueled in part by the trend towards more powerful computers loaded with more memory, more drives, and more capabilities.

Further, DOE reports that the average PC wastes up to 400 kilowatt-hours of electricity per year simply by running at full power when not being used.

IT Operations and security challenges

  • Enforcing conservation settings without impacting user productivity
  • Remotely “waking up” computers for IT maintenance and support needs
  • Reporting accurate cost and energy savings
  • Coordinating Green initiatives across the enterprise: IT operations, Facilities, Marketing, etc.

The GoWorld approach

GoWorld provides power management through its unified management platform and offered as a managed service.

Here are some of the unique reasons why GoWorld is the right solution to power an organization’s Green IT initiatives:
  • Manage thousands of PCs with a single server to automate a broad range of systems and security management tasks while minimizing the impact of hardware and power “footprint”
  • Quick time-to-implement allows organizations to baseline their current power usage within hours and start reducing electricity usage in days
  • Wake-on-LAN and flexible opt-in capabilities allows organizations to meet the needs of IT staff and end-users while still reducing overall energy usage by as much as 40%
  • Easy-to-read reports include electricity savings translated to trees planted or cars taken off the road for immediate use in internal and external marketing campaigns
  • Printer usage monitoring provides valuable information necessary for reducing paper and ink usage
