The Hidden cost at Christmas - One way to save over the Festive Period

Nov. 16, 2011 - PRLog -- In any organisation with a large footprint of computers, many are left on and never shut down.

When this happens the PC is wasting money on electricity and increasing the carbon footprint of the organisation too.

Shutting down PCs makes commercial sense as it reduces costs and reduces CO2 emissions.

Scripts or policies shutting down PCs are often hampered by device drivers getting in the way which is why it is essential to deploy Power Management Software to do the job for you.

TaskForceCO2 from PeachWorx lets an Organisation set a time of day to shut down and wake up PCs with as many power events in between.

'Any PC that is left on over the Festive break will waste a considerable amount of money and when you multiply that by hundreds, perhaps thousands of PCs for some organisations, the costs can spiral astronomically. Even just shutting down PCs that have been left on at midnight represents a considerable saving for an Organisation' Said Richard ward, Partner at PeachWorx.

'Typically our customers who deploy TaskForceCO2 save on average £30 a year for every PC on their Network and that adds up, even for someone with just a handful of PCs' said Ward.

PeachWorx believe seeing is believing so there is a free trial of TaskForceCO2 available at http://www.peachworx.com/freetrial.

'In the current economic climate it makes sense to look at where savings can be made and an investment in TaskForceCO2 is normally recovered in a matter of weeks' said Ward.
