What is Surveyor?

What is Surveyor?

Surveyor is a computer software package that sits on every PC of a computer network. It safely puts Microsoft Windows based PCs and Monitors into low-power states when they are not in use.

The software offers the most comprehensive and cost effective network energy management solution, in the market today, with regard to solving the problem of wasted energy in networked PCs.

How does it do this?

The Surveyor solution elevates power management control to a centralised level and provides an IT department with the ability to achieve energy savings while maintaining its ability to insure network stability and to carry out all of its scheduled tasks.

Typically today, PC Power management is either not used or is very sporadically installed with little or no control.

What does it do?

The software, in essence, listens for any inactivity on a PC within an organisations fleet of PC's and Monitors and then applies an Intelligent Sleep instruction to reduce the energy consumption.

Instructions can be assigned to different groups that have different power requirements. This customisation allows IT managers to maximise the energy savings that can be made from a simple to use browser base interface.

Each PC periodically sends information back to the Surveyor server where it is put into a database. This then allows the information to be turned into meaningful and verifiable reports.

What are the benefits?

• 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.
• Demonstrate reductions in carbon emission and receive tax breaks and incentives for being compliant.

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