Companies with IT rooms can take an innovative approach to reducing energy consumption during off-peak hours by using the graceful shutdown features in the latest version of Eaton's Intelligent Power Manager Software.
By scheduling graceful shutdowns during non-operational hours, such as at nights and during weekends, and restarting operation for servers and virtual infrastructure whenever they choose, IT administrators can curtail energy consumption significantly, resulting in energy bills that are up to 50% lower.
The software ensures a controlled and organized shutdown process, safeguarding data and systems with automatic and scheduled restart - this enhances data integrity, minimizes the risk of system failures or data loss, and provides peace of mind. It means that energy savings can be fine-tuned without compromising essential services.
Frédéric Leclerc, IT Channel Manager, Eaton, EMEA, said: “Powering down servers or applications when they are not in use, reduces wear and tear on critical IT infrastructure which prolongs equipment lifespans, shrinks maintenance costs, and enhances the overall cost-effectiveness of IT operations. With Eaton’s Intelligent Power Manager Software, companies can save money and reduce their carbon footprint which is an important consideration as regulatory pressures mount in most countries to boost energy efficiency.”
