Look around the average Organization after business hours and it’s likely you will see many PCs on full power. In the main they are not doing anything other than wasting money and increasing the Organisations carbon footprint. TaskForceCO2 from PeachWorx LLP is a network software program that is ready to help the fight on CO2 by automatically powering down PCs.
TaskForceCO2 allows the IT administrator to set up a time which all non essential PCs should be shutdown, overriding any device drivers blocking a normal shutdown. The administrator can decide whether to shut down, suspend or put the PCs in hibernate, all of which take advantage of a reduced power state and therefore drastically cut the electricity overhead.
Furthermore, the PCs can be automatically woken at a pre defined time and multiple wake/sleeps can be performed in-between for maintenance and update purposes.
Richard Ward, a partner at PeachWorx said, “ If you leave 100 PCs on all night the costs are going to add up, and if they are left on full Power on a Friday, then they are going to be on for the next 48 hours too. That adds up to a lot of money and CO2 over the year “
PeachWorx offer a free no obligation trial of TaskForceCO2 that will work on up to 250 PCs. It’s available from www.peachworx.com/
