Education

The recession has deeply affected the Education Sector and many institutions are looking for ways to do more with less. Some have many thousands of PCs running across a campus and need to run them more efficiently as well as deliver software and patches at a time that will not impact their users. In addition, as public institutions, some have Carbon Reduction targets to meet. IT Efficient solutions from 1E give educational institutions control and transparency to their energy consumption, automated patch management and software distribution as well as make significant cost and energy savings.

The University of Southern Denmark has cut its energy bills and improved the quality of the working day with the aid of Power & Patch Management from 1E. It can now switch on computers remotely overnight for a brief time in order to apply patches, eliminating disruptions to users during the day and saving an estimated $180,000 on electricity each year.

1E has a significant presence in the Education sector and includes customers like East Berkshire College, Park Hill School District, Educational Testing Service, Liverpool John Moores University, Central Connecticut State University and University of Southern Denmark, who all rely on 1E to help them to significantly lower costs and reduce their CO2 emissions. Our industry leading solutions are focused on improving IT efficiency by identifying and reducing costs and waste in hardware, software, energy and time.

Our policy on energy saving and system management means all machines switch off at 7 pm, and patching occurs between 1 am and 5 am,” …”If someone is working during those times they are given the option to postpone automated processes by up to three hours, or defer for 24 hours…patch management now has a 100 per cent success rate and our bills are coming down.”
