Verdiem Partners With the Trilliant Group

Boutique engineering firm will provide Verdiem's award winning PC Power Management Software SURVEYOR to energy conscious IT organizations

Lebanon (Ohio) and Seattle - October 10, 2007 - Verdiem, the leading developer of power management software for PC networks, today announced that it has entered into a strategic agreement with the Trilliant Group. Under terms of the agreement, Trilliant Group will sell and implement Verdiem software to its client base. Trilliant Group is a boutique consulting engineering firm specializing in IT energy conservation best practices.

"With increasing frequency, we have seen our clients request energy efficiency solutions that extend beyond the datacenter, with a focus on networks of desktop PCs," said Bob Wardell, Trilliant Group managing partner. "Our partnership with Verdiem will now provide clients the finest technology solution for PC power management."

By placing PCs and their monitors into low-power states whenever they're not in use, SURVEYORTM can significantly decrease thermal loads, reduce microprocessor draw and make devices run quieter through less frequent fan operation without decreasing productivity. Organization such as Clear Channel Communications, Turner Properties, A TimeWarner Company, Quad/Graphics, The City of Boston, Massachusetts and City University of New York are among the many customers benefiting from significant energy and cost savings as a result of deploying SURVEYOR.

"Partnering with a firm like Trilliant Group is an exciting opportunity for Verdiem. Engineering firms are sometimes the first line of defense when it comes to operational and infrastructure related energy efficiency. We look forward to increasing energy efficiency opportunities to Trilliant's customer base," said Dave Harvey, vice president of business development, Verdiem.

Mark Wasilko, managing director of the newly formed joint venture between GE and AES, GE/AES Greenhouse Gas Services added "We retained Trilliant Group to provide software evaluation, technology transfer, development, and testing of energy saving software technology. We are thoroughly pleased with their work and their professionalism. They are uniquely positioned to address both energy and power management, as well as carbon emissions assessments. We are confident in Trilliant Group's in-depth understanding of the issues, as well as their ability to deliver results."

On average, SURVEYOR lowers energy consumption for each PC by one third per year. This is well worth noting, because running a 5,000-PC network, for example, pumps about 6.65 million pounds of CO2 into the atmosphere a year. That"s the equivalent of 475 mid-size vehicles driving on the road for a 12 month-period. If SURVEYOR were used with the same 5,000-PC network, it could cancel out the equivalent of CO2 emissions from 110 mid-size vehicles for a year.
