Create a baseline for energy savings

The first step is to establish energy consumption measurements across your fleet of PCs and Macs prior to enforcing any power saving policies. We’ll work closely with you to verify these initial energy measurements. Next, we’ll help you devise appropriate policies to start lowering your energy costs. With our highly accurate measurement and verification approach, you’ll have a high degree of confidence in your energy savings results to share with your executive team and employees. In fact, we’re the only solution that has been independently validated and verified.

Automatically detect and organize devices

As new IT devices are added to your network, our flexible rules engine allows automatic grouping based on Active Directory attributes, IP/subnet, operating system, and more. This reduces the management overhead and leverages your investment in Active Directory.

Create policies based on actual user activity and schedules

Verdiem Surveyor captures the most accurate device activity information through detection of mouse clicks and keyboard strokes. With this detailed information on user activity, you can create profiles of different types of workers in your organization. Based on their profile, you can establish an appropriate energy management policy that balances their work patterns with energy savings.

Align unlimited policies with workforce activity patterns, schedules, and locations

Patterns of work and work hours vary in most organizations, especially by department and location. Surveyor gives you the flexibility to create policies that accommodate specific needs rather than a one-size-fits all approach. For example, a customer support team may need longer time intervals before moving their monitors and PCs to a lower power state so they can stay responsive to customers; whereas, a finance group may be in more meetings and therefore a shorter time period is appropriate.

Predict accurate savings using device-specific energy consumption

We include a pre-populated database of device specific watt draw information. We also give you the flexibility to add your own measurement results. This information flows directly into savings calculations and reports.
