Ever need to access your work machine back at the office in the evenings, over the weekend, or while on the road? It’s a common requirement these days – information workers needing to be productive while mobile. How does that fit with implementing a PC power management solution? With Verdiem Surveyor, you can centrally enforce power savings policies to achieve significant cost savings, while still giving end users the needed flexibility to “wake up” their systems anytime, from anywhere.

Recently, Pike Research – a leading cleantech research firm – predicted that the PC and server power management software market would increase five-fold by 2015. While that sounds bold and aggressive, the reality is that PC power management is now gaining mainstream adoption. PC power management has been adopted by less than 25% of organizations. If you subscribe to Geoffrey Moore’s theory on technology adoption, PC power management is about to “enter the tornado” for rapid adoption. Why? Cost is a leading factor.

We often take for granted the amount of energy personal computers consume. A typical PC will draw anywhere from 20 to 300 watts depending on usage patterns and configuration.
