The Desktop

With desktop systems becoming more powerful and increasingly more power hungry, managing these systems is giving Public Sector bodies rise for concern.

PC's of today would have been powerful enough for yesterday's servers. Even whilst in "standby" mode the power these systems draw is still vast if collectively measured.

"If you are not able to measure it, you cannot manage it and therefore you are unable to make informed decisions as to improvement and verifiable reporting."

It has been calculated that PCs in the UK might contribute around 6 percent of UK CO2 emissions. Having control and manageabilty over the desktop systems is only possible with the use of innovative software, and Quadnet offers a simple but intuative solution to reduce the energy consumed whilst they are "Idle".

The benefits of using this software are:

• Bottom Line savings in electrical consumption for an organisations PC fleet, typically 30+%.
• Reduction of PC energy use by an average of 200kWh per Annum.
• Reduction of carbon emissions from an organisations office or offices.
• The ability to move toward reducing the impact of government compliance and legislation.

As most IT departments are not directly responsible for the payment of their energy bills, Quadnet can work with organisations to show that savings can be visibly made and returned to the business in the form of reductions in bottom line cost, which is visible to management and shareholders alike.
