Centrally manage power policies and handle exceptions

Manage in one location your PCs, Macs as well as Cisco EnergyWise devices including IP Phones, wireless access points, switches, routers, smart PDUs and more. You can ensure these important IT devices are in their lowest power state to optimize savings. We enable you to create intelligent profiles based on actual device usage. You can create any number of policies to satisfy complex enterprise requirements. You can also easily establish exception groups for those critical devices that cannot be powered down or turned off.

Simplify administration with automatic group and policy assignment for new devices

Simplify and accelerate the introduction of an energy management program with Surveyor's ability to automatically detect and group IT devices on your network. Those device groups can then be associated with a power management policy. It’s that easy.

Turn on systems using network-friendly, zero administration Wake-On-WAN

Whether it’s regularly scheduled patch management or an emergency such as a virus outbreak, Surveyor puts you in control of your critical IT devices across your distributed IT environment. Verdiem has taken the Wake-on-LAN capability one step further with our patented Wake-On-WAN capability. It works in any network topology and across any number of subnets. Our approach is network friendly and requires minimal administration.

Integration with client lifecycle management solutions

The Verdiem Power Management Pack seamlessly integrates the Surveyor server with leading client management solutions including Microsoft System Center. From within the client management console, you can schedule Surveyor to wake up your PCs and Macs before advertisements or software updates. Surveyor then utilizes its Wake-on-WAN capability to wake up the computers and then to turn them off following patch management or software updates.

Overcome Windows sleep disorders

Do you have PCs that can’t fall asleep (insomnia) or won’t wake up (narcolepsy)? Most organizations find that a significant percentage of their PCs do not properly transition power states. Surveyor fixes those problems. In the case of insomnia, Surveyor supplements the Windows idle timer to monitor CPU, disk, and network utilization to proxy for device usage activity. With Surveyor’s Wake-on-WAN, you can consistently wake up those sleepy PCs.

Prevent data loss with application handling and custom scripting

As power policies are enforced, it’s critical that end user work is not lost. Surveyor gracefully shuts down applications, while protecting unsaved documents. Surveyor also provides rules for standard applications such as Word and gives you the flexibility to create your own custom rules. Surveyor also supports automated exception handling.

Allow end users remote access

With our Wake for Remote Access functionality, you can empower your end users to access their work computer remotely from any Internet-connected computer. Your users simply point to the Wake for Remote Access web page, select their computer, and proceed with your normal network remote access process.

Establish role-based access control and distributed administration

For many organizations, especially larger distributed organizations, the ability to assign different members of the IT team to specific roles for security and administrative reasons is essential. Surveyor supports the creation of different administrative roles with specific permission sets. Roles can be global allowing you to manage particular functionality across your deployment. You can also create a role with group level only permissions.
