Organizations today are seeking ways to conserve energy in order to cut costs and reduce environmental impact. But while energy-saving computers have been available for some time, many companies are not getting the most cost- and energy-saving benefits from these devices. This is because power saving settings often are disabled, whether to support nightly IT operations or simply from force of habit.

Configuration Manager 2007 R3 comes with core power management features. IT managers can create power-management policies that are designed to help reduce energy use and associated costs, as well as offer flexible administrative options so that an organization can tailor its power management policies to its specific needs. 1E NightWatchman extends these capabilities to help an organization further reduce computer power consumption.
