Features
NightWatchman and 1E WakeUp are seamlessly integrated to provide the most comprehensive solution for PC power management.
The details below describes the combined feature set.
Saves energy, costs and reduces CO2 emissions
Simple to implement and manage, NightWatchman enables centralized control of PC energy usage allowing organization
to save wasted energy without impacting productivity.
Round-the-clock PC power management
PCs can be woken at the start of the working day, kept healthy and active during the day,
put into a low power state at the end of the day and then activated for a maintenance window out-of-hours.
Users are not impacted and IT administrators can still manage and maintain the security of IT their systems.
Best user experience
Keeping users happy is key to successful PC power management.
NightWatchman intelligently detects for user activity and makes sure that their PC remains active and healthy whilst
they are working. If a shut down event were scheduled, NightWatchman makes sure that user data is saved. If they have
important tasks to do, users can temporarily opt out or postpone power management. This flexibility and level of control
means that more users and their PCs can be included within power saving initiatives.
Centralized PC Power Management
PC power settings can be managed and configured centrally using the NightWatchman Management Center Administration Console.
This is fully scalable for up to 200,000 PCs and incorporates full role based security.
Proven and accurate web based reporting
PC energy usage is recorded by each client agent and reported centrally.
Reports and charts are available out-of-the-box that show energy consumption, costs,
CO2 emissions, energy saving estimators and much more.
Highly scalable and secure
With our proven track record in providing solutions for large organizations we understand the importance of security,
reliability and scalability for the enterprise. Network communications are secured using SSL and certificate-based
authentication can be configured. We have more than 20 customers who have successfully implemented a single
NightWatchman Management Center server that supports over 100,000 PCs.
Integrated with Microsoft ConfigMgr 2007 / SMS 2003
If you are using ConfigMgr / SMS then extra functionality is available.
You can automatically wake PCs for scheduled software or patch distributions and ensure that PCs do not power save
if there is a pending management task. The seamless integration makes software distributions and security patching
become quicker and more reliable.
Sleepless client detection and override
Windows processes can keep a PC from savings energy, even if a user is not present.
Some of these processes are important to the PC or the business however some of these are rogue processes that are wasting energy.
NightWatchman identifies these and allows the IT administrator to define a policy for ignoring rogue processes to
enable even more savings whilst protecting the stability of the PC.
Lightweight desktop client agent
Easy to install and configure and with a small footprint, the NightWatchman and WakeUp client agents ensure that
the power state of each PC can be managed in a secure, reliable and scalable way.
