Green IT made easy with AMT and vPro
Posted by:
Being greener is actually very simple in principle. It comes down to things as easy as turning off lights and PCs when they aren't in use.
Of course, it's not as simple as that in the real world, because you need to find another way to keep those machines updated, even when they are switched off. But management software company Kaseya thinks it should be easy: even small companies can get remote management with Intel vPro, including remote power control, if they go with a managed service provider using suitable software.
This can save $70 per year, per machine, as well as the staff savings from making maintenance easier, says Dan Shapero, Kaseya’s VP of marketing. “What we’re hoping is by making it really easy to set power management policies, it doesn’t turn into a chore for users,” he says.
