  • (1888PressRelease) January 06, 2011 - Silicon Alley Solutions, a provider of network management tools and software that reduce energy consumption and power-related costs, announced immediate availability of the PowerOnMyPC Energy Saving Kit, which includes a ten-device license for the energy management console, fully functional server software, solutions brief, white paper, and free user accounts. The PowerOnMyPC Energy Saving Kit will reduce the energy demands of your office through Intelligent Green IT Management.

    PowerOnMyPC allows remote users and administrators to power-on personal computers via a globally accessible web site for remote access and software updating at any time. The system also allows administrators to power down PCs at scheduled times.

    PowerOnMyPC allows organizations to deliver the resources your employees need where and when they need them. The Energy Saving Kit includes a ten -user license for the product, a Solutions Brief that examines how to reduce power costs and increase resource utilization, an in-depth white paper that explains how PCs are driving high energy costs and what can be done, and the Getting Started with PowerOnMyPC online resource.

    A recent survey by Basex found that, while 95% of workers turn off lights in unoccupied offices, only 38% shut off their PCs when they leave. This translates into billions of dollars in unnecessary energy costs per year.

    Key features of PowerOnMyPC include:
    • Remote shutdown of PCs
    • Web power-on for remote desktop access
    • Scheduled power-on/off
    • Clientless installation
    • Company portal
    • Multi-location support
    • Active Directory support

    One beta test site is Housing & Services Inc., a non-profit agency with four locations. HSI is using PowerOnMyPC to replace a dd-wrt system that didn't meet its needs and was cumbersome to use.

    "PowerOnMyPC is just what we needed to control our energy costs," said Jim Dill, Executive Director of Housing and services. "As a non-profit, every penny counts and PowerOnMyPC allows us to better support our clients."

    In the U.S. alone, the cost to power PCs in offices represents 15% of a building's energy usage. PowerOnMyPC can reduce PC-related energy costs at a company by as much as 50%.

    "PowerOnMyPC is a powerful new technology that allows users to remotely turn on their computers whenever and from wherever they need to," said Todd Stevens, CEO of Silicon Alley Solutions. "Network administrators can use PowerOnMyPC to apply patches and critical updates during non-working hours, making sure that users' PCs are fully available to them during the workday."

    "For organizations concerned about lowering energy costs, the ability to save 50% of PC-related power costs is a key benefit," said Otto Cruz, vice president of Silicon Alley Solutions. "The ability to leave computers off during non-working hours also protects against malicious software and unauthorized access."
