Centralized power management has never
been so easy
Bulk management
 Create logical power groups
 Apply power policies to groups
Manage on per user level
 Customize a single user's policy
 Set privileges for different users
 Installation requires NO network
modification or additional hardware
 Automated updates - fully
centralized, requiring no user input
 Admin decides what features
are available to and configurable by users
 Admin notified of critical
changes to a user's policy made by authorized users
 Ability to dispatch a 'wake
up and stay on for' schedule for patches, updates
 Secure client-server communication(encrypted)
over HTTP
-
Inactivity and schedule based power management
Idle timeouts
 Monitor off, standby, hibernate
after set amount of inactivity
 Disable standby, hibernate
if required
 Shutdown if hibernate is not
supported
 Notification 30 seconds before
power
transition to prevent it if required
Scheduled events
 Schedule a turn off (hibernate/shutdown),
wake up event for each day of the week
 Admin can configure a 'keep
on for'
duration post wake up, after which,
power saving resumes
 Notification 5 min before
scheduled turn off
to allow postponing the event if required
-
Define what 'idle' & 'active' mean to
you
 Often, just the absence of
input means idle
 A running application might
mean activity,
though it may require no user input
 High resource utilization
(download/scan)
might add to your definition of activity
Based on your definition of 'idle', low power modes are enabled after set amount
of 'idle' time.
Apart from being centrally configurable, provided the admin configures it so, this
is also available to a user for customization as per his usage pattern, especially
with respect to running applications.
When choosing applications to prevent low power mode transitions, you can opt to
allow the monitor to turn off for further opportunistic saving.
-
Run in Audit mode if you only want to
measure, not manage
Disable power management features but,
continue to monitor the consumption
(active, idle) as well as any savings due to
transitions initiated by the OS.
Useful in various scenarios:
 On servers, to identify under-utilized
resources and facilitate
power saving, decommissioning
 To identify incremental benefit
of Enpower over current usage,
especially during a trial
 To temporarily disable power
management

 View current status of the network
 Enable selected users to wake their systems
from anywhere in the world
 Requires no changes in your existing

Often, organizations choose to keep their computers turned on all night for a variety of reasons including the need to push updates/patches or run critical maintenace tasks at night or just to make the system available to employees as soon as they walk in. In the process, large amount of energy is wasted.
Wake-on-LAN integration in Enpower allows organizations to wake systems in their network in a flexible manner - instantly, on a scheduled basis or even from the internet; thus avoiding the need to keep systems on all the time - cutting down operating costs without affecting system availability.
