Remote Shutdown of Network PCs with a Scheduling Options

Do you know that every additional hour of one PC work during the year costs you $3 or more depending on prices of your energy supplier? Multiply this by the number of PCs in your network and number of idle hours per day and you get the total amount of expenses that can be saved. By reducing of PCs power on time you can also prevent various hardware problems, such as overheating and as the result prolong the life of PCs.

Saving of energy costs is only one part of the story. Reducing of power consumption can make your organization greener and help our planet to stay green. For example, reducing power on time of 10 000 PC on 1 hour per day can save 182 500 kWh every year that equal to:

• CO2 emission reduction on 82 metric tons
• 25 cars not driven per year
• 53 134 saved liters of gasoline

Do you want to improve power management in your organization? EMCO Remote Shutdown will help you to manage remote PCs, simplify administrative and management tasks and save costs as well.

Remote Power Switch

It's easy to shutdown or reboot the computer which you currently use, right? But if you need to do the same for all PCs in your organization, it can become a problem. EMCO Remote Shutdown allows you to manage state of all PCs in your local network with similar efforts required to manage state of the computer which you currently use.

How it works? It's really easy and requires just few actions. First of all you need to create a job and define the type of operation, which you want to execute. For example, you can select Power Off operation to turn off the power on remote computers. Then you need to define PCs where this job will be executed. To get the list of available PCs in the local network you can launch fast automatic network scan. When scan will be completed you can select required PCs and add them to the machine queue. Finally, you can execute job immediately or define a schedule when it should be executed. The whole process of job creation and execution is really fast - it takes few seconds for networks with thousands of PCs.
