The newly released features include:

  • The ability to store historical power tracking data via a button in the dashboard. For users who want to automate the saving process, we have developed an automated mechanism which will save data for all operators that have power monitoring enabled. If you are interested in using this automated scheme, please send me an email at naveed_makhani@bigfix.com and I will send along the details.

  • The ability to view stored historical data via two new Web Reports: “Power Trend Overview” and “Historical Power State”

  • The ability to model “what-if” scenarios via the “Power Trend Overview” Web Report, enabling administrators to quantify the cost savings, reduction in power consumption and reduction in CO2 emissions that would result from a change in monitor power management, computer power management, and average powered-on time per day

  • The ability to view in the Aggregate Statistics section of the dashboard the maximum, minimum, and average number of computers powered-on during the selected time interval

Lastly, as a reminder, BigFix Power Management has been certified by major energy utilities so customers with BigFix Power Management may be eligible for rebates as high as $15 per computer.

For more information about rebates or if you would like a free trial of BigFix Power Management to determine savings potential within your organization, please contact your sales representative or email sales@bigfix.com.

We hope you enjoy the new features and stay tuned for many more in the coming months!
