PC Power Management: Adoption, Methods, Barriers
As organizations look to reduce the financial costs and environmental impacts of operating IT, PC power management is proving quite popular: nearly half of companies are implementing and another half considering, according to a new Forrester survey. Yet current PC power management practices aren't enough. Simply asking users to power down PCs when not in use won't produce results. This informative session provides a reality check on current practices, barriers, and best practices. The session also includes a look at suites that let IT centrally provision, administer, and report on their PC power management initiatives.
