ETS Selects 1E NightWatchman®
LONDON-(Business Wire)-September 28, 2009 - 1E, a leading provider of software and services that specializes in reducing IT operational costs within business and government environments, today announced that Educational Testing Service (ETS), a non-profit institution advancing quality in education, has licensed its Power & Patch Management Pack. 1E Power & Patch Management comprises 1E’s market-leading flagship power management software NightWatchman® and availability management software 1E WakeUp™.
ETS is currently deploying 1E WakeUp and NightWatchman, across its PC estate ensuring substantial savings throughout the organisation and a significant reduction in carbon footprint. The organisation was aware that a large number of their desktop PC users were not turning their PCs off at night. With this in mind, ETS made the decision to initially roll out NightWatchman and 1E WakeUp on 4,000 ETS desktop PCs. Based on initial projections, ETS is expecting to realize over $100,000 in annual energy bill savings.
1E WakeUp gives an organisation control and visibility of its entire PC estate and ensures that all PCs targeted for software and patch distributions are turned on and ready to receive them, reducing the chance that a PC will miss a vital patch. 1E NightWatchman empowers enterprise and small to medium sized businesses to significantly reduce energy costs and impact on the environment by enforcing corporate power schemes. Deploying NightWatchman® across an organisations’ PC estate has been proven to save Dell $36 per PC per year.
Frederick Manno, Business Technology Director at ETS, commented, “ETS is committed to being an environmentally friendly corporate citizen. We selected 1E due to its proven track record in the market. By leveraging 1E WakeUp and NightWatchman, we expect to reduce our carbon emissions and benefit from lower energy bills.”
Sumir Karayi, CEO, 1E, added: “If all of the world’s 1 billion PCs[i] were powered down for just one night, it would save enough energy to light up New York City’s Empire State Building – inside and out – for more than 30 years[ii]. Organisations need to educate their workforce and ensure that awareness of this issue filters down to each individual user.”
