SURVEYOR is an easy-to-use software utility that allows you to measure, manage, and reduce your network's energy consumption, saving money and lowering your network's total cost of ownership. SURVEYOR adds new options to the Energy Star settings in your PCs, making this functionality more accessible and dynamic and allowing you to easily implement network-wide best practices that balance user productivity and energy efficiency. Demonstrable energy and cost savings SURVEYOR painlessly cuts 100 to 300 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of annual energy use from every PC in your organization – lets estimate an average $25 cost savings for each one, every year. For many organisations this can mean a 5% to 15% organization-wide reduction in electricity consumption—overnight—with minimal setup and maintenance. At the same time, SURVEYOR details your energy and cost savings, with hassle-free built-in reporting. Simplify and automate PC power settings SURVEYOR provides a simplified, transparent, network-level management interface for the power functions of thousands of networked PCs. With SURVEYOR, IT managers can synchronize the power options of their PCs in a way that gives users full flexibility but that still insures energy-efficient operation of the hardware and compatibility with network operations. It can quickly shut down all PCs on the network—an invaluable benefit in an emergency situation such as a virus outbreak—and ensure that every PC is awake and ready for after-hours remote back-up jobs or software upgrades. Painless implementation, minimal maintenance, rapid payback SURVEYOR can be deployed quickly and easily throughout a network, generating savings from the day it is introduced. SURVEYOR clients support any deployment tool in use by the IT department, as well as silent installs through scripts and across separate network domains. It requires minutes a year for every 1000 clients supported, and runs as a "set and forget" tool to keep PC energy waste under control. Climate Change If widely adopted, SURVEYOR could have a meaningful impact on the reduction of greenhouse gasses. For every 10,000 PC’s managed by SURVEYOR CO2 emissions would be reduced by almost 1500 tonnes - the equivalent of removing 325 cars from the road for an entire year. A Win/Win Solution. SURVEYOR is another example of how we can save money while benefiting the environment, rather than trading off cost reduction and environmental friendliness. We hope this win/win outcome will help to fundamentally shift the way businesses and people view green technology. Return on Investment SURVEYOR doesn’t just have a positive impact on the environment, it also pays for itself very quickly. Based on international studies, we estimate SURVEYOR pays for itself in between 6 and 12 months. Presentations / More Information If you would like to present SURVEYOR to others in your office (Green Team, sustainability board, purchasing department, etc.) we can help. Contact us with the approximate number of users in your organization and we will create a short presentation for you to understand the potential environmental and cost benefits of using SURVEYOR.
