Features

Uniquely suited to large enterprise environments

Many well-known and successful companies have trusted 1E to help them reduce energy costs and CO2. Some of these include AT&T, Verizon Wireless, Dell, Ford, and the US Department of State. NightWatchman Enterprise has been proven to scale to more than 300,000 PCs.

Empower users to maximize productivity

NightWatchman Enterprise’s user friendly approach means productivity is never impacted. User data is always saved whenever a PC is powered down; it detects and defers shutdown if a user is still active; through Web WakeUp, it enables users to remotely wake office computers for access at any time through a customizable web portal or via a mobile device; and it will wake up machines ready for use when users arrive at their desks in the morning.

Accurately Predicts and Reports Credible Energy Savings

Using actual machine make and model power consumption figures from a comprehensive catalog and local energy tariffs, NightWatchman builds a highly accurate picture of energy use, carbon emissions and costs by department, building or region. The accuracy of savings are further enhanced by using multiple baselines for a before and after measure of energy consumption. In addition, its Enterprise View dashboard, a sophisticated management information system, offers a configurable ‘snapshot’ view of energy and efficiency across any organization.

Maximum Possible Savings

Maximum possible savings should be the primary goal of any PC power management project. NightWatchman identifies other areas where savings can be achieved, such as tracking PC utilization across an enterprise. This unique new feature – the PC Estate Profiler – further reduces your energy footprint and administrative overhead by identifying unused PCs based on user activitiy which gives you the ability to safely remove unused hardware. It also enables you to confidently schedule maintenance windows during periods of inactivity.

Automatically wakes and patches every machine

NightWatchman Enterprise uses Wake-on-LAN to instantly power on and patch computers out of hours, cutting patch times and improving administration

Supports secure environments

Common Criteria certified and the only solution available to support reliable Wake on LAN for computers on 802.1x secure VLANs

By working together with 1E’s best-of-breed energy efficient IT solutions, we offer customers a powerful combination of automation, reduced infrastructure and power management. As a result, customers can gain a deeper insight into their operations and drive efficiencies across their physical and virtual IT environments.”
Brad Anderson, Corporate VP Microsoft Corporation
