EMCO Software, a leading provider of remote power management software solutions
for networks, announces the availability of a new version of its remote shutdown
software. The new EMCO Remote Shutdown version 5 is aimed at helping network
administrators to manage Windows PCs across corporate networks remotely from a
centralized console. Network administrators can shut down, wake up, reboot one
or multiple network PCs, send a message to users and perform other operations to
manage remote PCs. Using the application, IT professionals can execute computer
management operations remotely and schedule them for automatic execution at a
defined time.
IT departments of companies and organizations can use EMCO
Remote Shutdown to comply with best practices in power management, reduce
electric power consumption and save power costs. The application allows network
administrators to automate PC power management across the entire organization.
Administrators can configure the application to turn off unused PCs in the
evening and turn them on automatically the next morning. This prevents power
wasting caused by users' keeping their PCs running in an idle mode during nights
and weekends. This simple power management action doesn't compromise any
functionality for end users but can save as much as $50 in power costs per PC
per year on average.
"The key principle of effective power management is
to turn unused devices off to reduce energy wasting. Unfortunately, corporate
users don't care too much about it. As a result, about half of all corporate
desktops stay turned on during non-business hours. It's a huge energy and money
waste, which can be avoided by using EMCO Remote Shutdown. Companies and
organizations can implement power management easily without investing into a
costly hardware upgrade. Our public sector and corporate clients, including
Fortune 500 companies, have saved thousands dollars every year after they
started using our solution. It's really easy to install the application on a
server, configure it once and then let it run in an auto-pilot mode saving power
and making the organization greener", Thorarinn Oskarsson, CEO at EMCO Software,
says.
EMCO Remote Shutdown 5 offers an improved scheduling functionality.
The application can work as a Windows service, so network administrators can
simply install it on a server and let it run automatically to execute scheduled
tasks in the background.
"The new features introduced in version 5 are
targeted at using the application in enterprise environments managed by multiple
network administrators. The new version can work as a service on a server to
execute scheduled power management tasks. Network administrators no longer need
to start the application manually in order to run scheduled tasks. All scheduled
tasks will be executed automatically as long as the server is powered on thus
reducing the probability of a human mistake", Thorarinn Oskarsson, CEO at EMCO
Software, says.
