advantage of technology delivery innovation Maximizing the
efficiency of your IT infrastructure
Reduce energy consumption by reducing physical servers Reduce
overall power consumption with PC and server power management Gain
server power savings of up to 10% over earlier operating system
versions on the same workload Centralize client/server power
management with Group Policy Power management software can reduce a
PCs power consumption by 80 percent, allowing companies to save
between $25 - $75 per desktop PC. PC Energy Report 2007: United
