Care Taker - Taking care of your PC
|
|
Organisations are coming under increasing pressure from all directions. To limit their
environmental impact and reduce their carbon footprint. To help protect employees’ health.
To cut costs.
|
|
|
Care Taker consists of three software applications:
|
|
|
Applies automated energy saving standby and shutdown policies to individual PCs on a network when they are not being used, day or night.
|
|
|
Provides efficient network management tools to further enhance the software’s capabilities.
|
|
|
Provides automated break scheduling and reporting prompting users to take breaks in accordance with HSE recommendations.
|
|
Care Taker intelligently delivers a range of benefits to organisations and
users alike:
1) PC power use is significantly reduced across the network without affecting
user productivity, reducing operational costs and an organisation’s carbon
footprint - power is only used when it is needed and not wasted
2) Accurate measurements and management reports are provided on
computer usage and the savings gained both in financial terms and Carbon
emissions – providing the basis for a sustainable strategy for the future
3) Employees are encouraged to work responsibly in accordance with the
European Working Time Directive and adherence reporting is available for
HSE management
4) An organisation’s cultural awareness of sustainable issues is improved,
encouraging further cost saving initiatives
5) An organisation can demonstrate a responsible commitment to
sustainability and green issues

Case Studies
|
University calculate an estimated 68% reduction in their PC energy bill with Care Taker
|
|
An analysis of PC user activity at this Scottish university demonstrated how difficult it is to encourage saving through manual means – consistent good power management and minimum energy wastage can realistically only be achieved by an automated software solution such as Care Taker.
|
Care Taker works 24/7 for a small enterprise to drive out energy efficiencies
|
|
A medium sized enterprise involved in the oil & gas sector deployed Care Taker as part of an overall green strategy – the ability of Care Taker to generate savings throughout the working day as well as at night and weekends to the tune of 40% was an added bonus.
|
Care Taker enables reductions of £000’s off of an organisations energy bill
|
|
A work study undertaken for a large organisation with several thousand computers showed how computer systems use surprisingly large amounts of energy and can significantly contribute to an organisations operational costs and carbon foot print. The implementation of Care Taker can generate significant cost savings - in this case nearly £0.5m and 2,280tonnes of Carbon per annum – and without affecting productivity.
