Patch Plus Power Management - Minimize Energy Costs, Maximize Patch Coverage

Powering off unused computers at night and on weekends can save up to $60 in energy costs per machine per year! But the goals of Green IT often conflict with the needs of IT administrators to deploy critical updates. Shavlik eliminates that conflict by joining Shavlik NetChk Protect Plus Power Management in a unified platform so IT administrators can power off computers when not in use AND wake them up for scheduled maintenance. In 30 minutes or less, you can manage your patches and energy costs.

Computers left on when not in use are wasting energy which you are paying for!

In the US alone, more than $2.8 billion in energy is wasted annually by not shutting down or reducing the power state of computers when not in use. Some countries and many US states have implemented energy savings rebate programs to encourage corporations to adopt Greener IT practices and power off computers when not in use.

NetChk Protect Plus Power Management provides comprehensive solution for managing power usage of servers and workstations. Shavlik provides a seamless integration of Wake-on-LAN and features that control the power state of computers. This enables businesses to maximize energy savings while maintaining a positive end-user experience - power off machines at the end of a day or for the weekend and wake up machines for the start of the workday.
