Energy-Conserving IT Tool
Faronics recently announced the release of Power Save 2.0, a product that allows IT administrators to monitor and control energy usage by campus computers.
Power Save analyzes CPU, disk, keyboard, mouse, and application activity, and then allows an IT administrator in a central location to turn off or put to sleep computers that have been sitting idle.
The product is being released later this month, according to a company spokesman.—Catherine Rampell

And you’re doing product announcments from a single vendor because you read a press release and it was easier than researching the topic?
There are lots of companies offering “power saving” tools. This one doesn’t look especially special. An article about who’s doing what with respect to campus power saving might have been interesting.

Yawn. So what? This can already be done over most LANs without buying a special utility. There are also some free ones.
