Safe•Connect NAC Uses Less Energy
Are you saving all the energy you can? Use the Safe•Connect NAC solution and be more energy efficient.
Power Compliance Module
Results in Substantial Cost Savings!
New to Safe•Connect Version 4.0 is Impulse Point's Power Compliance Policy
Module. This module allows system administrators to set policies on managed
devices for "sleep" or "hibernate" energy saving settings that will engage if
the device is not in active use. This new policy management feature will allow
organizations to adhere to their energy saving initiatives by reducing the power
consumption of non-active computing devices during non-standard office hours
(such as weekend, holiday, and middle of the night hours).
Enforcing compliance with energy settings can save, on average, $5 per computer per month -- a figure that grows substantially when multiplied by the total number of computers across an organization. For example, if there are 500 computer devices on which a company can manage energy compliance, and each computer saves $2,500 a year in energy costs (based on an average of $5 a month), that company can save $30,000 a year simply by ensuring that energy settings are used.
In side-by-side comparisons
on the cost of energy, Safe•Connect is the clear winner!
Safe•Connect's unique NAC architecture supports 10,000 users with
a single server appliance, where Legacy NAC systems require 12-16 production
and redundant backup appliances to address the same environment due to scalability
and availability limitations. Based on the US Department of Energy's report
that the average retail price of electricity is 8.98 cents per kWh, Safe•Connect
costs an average of $775.92 a year to operate compared to Legacy NAC systems
that cost more than $10,000 more a year in energy costs.
Use Safe•Connect
and reduce carbon emissions.
Not only does SafeoConnect save you money in energy costs, it also helps to
reduce carbon emissions. As previously described, a Legacy NAC solution that
supports 10,000 users could generate 37 metric tons of carbon a year -- equivalent
to 97 barrels of oil or 4,079 gallons of gasoline. Using Safe•Connect NAC
would yield 92.9 percent fewer emissions.
