Before you save energy power - report to measure the savings
Hi Everyone. In Australia the Australian government has passed legislation that all government agencies/departments must make energy saving to assist in reducing green house emissions. One of the ways in which this is archived is by changing computer power settings, like setting LCD monitors to just go to sleep after 1 minute. apposed to screen saver after 30mins, and then off after 60mins The problem is that although there are many ways to quickly reduce the amount of power being consumed. We are unable to show this saving, which raises the question how do you know you have actually made a saving. Unless we can report on the before and after affects, business & management won't support any such changes. What I'm looking for is a utility or reports which can collect data and report on - Energy Savings in Standby - Energy Savings for all types in minutes - Energy Usage for all Collections - Energy Usage - per Computers in Collection - Power Events captured in Time Range - Power Modeling Report - Total Energy Usage by Collection in minutes - Total Energy Usage for all Computers in minutes I have found such a product (eiPower Saver Solution - http://www.entisp.com/pages/eiPowerSaver.php ) But it might cost more then we want to spend, especially as the AU dollar is now about half the US dollar I've also tied to manipulate some of the Altiris data such as that form the 'AeX AC Machine Usage' table, but it doesn't really provide what I want. So I thought I would put this post out there and see what I get back, Cheers, Mick.

eiPowerSaver is all I've seen before
And it seems to do its job very well. Seems like a nice addition to the Notification server
