Endpoint Power Management reduces overall IT power consumption and costs without sacrificing productivity or security.

As organizations attempt to achieve IT cost savings by reducing PC power consumption, oftentimes security is put at bay - machines in the network that are offline or configured to sleep mode may not receive necessary patches or software updates. These operational "blind-spots" hinder effective endpoint management and reduce overall security. For example, in the case of a zero-day vulnerability, organizations must be able to access their IT environments in order to deploy risk-mitigating configurations and patches.

With Lumension's Endpoint Power Management solution, organizations can easily define and enforce power conservation policies, and automatically bring offline systems back online to perform system maintenance and/or IT security updates (including patching and configurations) during off peak work hours so that organizational productivity is not impacted. The end result is a more efficient and secure IT environment. Lumension's endpoint power management solution enables organizations to:

• Dramatically reduce PC power consumption and IT TCO by defining and enforcing system-wide power management policies across endpoints without requiring additional investment in stand-alone power-management products.
• Easily create and deploy power conservation policies to optimize IT operations and facilitate the enforcement of green policies in complex, distributed IT environments - without relying on a centrally managed domain.
• Eliminate operational and security “blind-spots” and improve endpoint security through both scheduled and emergency maintenance windows to effectively patch distributed endpoints, while also taking advantage of aggressive policies that power-down inactive systems.
• Effectively demonstrate the value of reduced power consumption through enhanced power management reporting and use this information to apply for potential power savings rebates from your local power company.
• Ensure continuous compliance with green IT policies through ongoing monitoring of desktop and laptop uptime.

Lumension Endpoint Power Management features and benefits

Centralized Endpoint Power Management Policy Wizard

Easy-to-use, wizard-based creation and deployment of PC power policy settings, including: standby, hibernation and sleep timing based on user, and system inactivity.

Hours of Operation Maintenance Windows

Conveniently set regular endpoint wake up times during hours of operation, centrally deploy agent tasks to both online and offline machines and control machines individually, by group, or globally across domains – regardless of time zones.

Enhanced Wake-on-LAN (WOL)

Promotable agent architecture allows any agent to be easily converted and act as a relay to broadcast WOL packages throughout your IT environment. Devices can be commanded to “wake up” at any given time to deploy a highly critical patch or urgent software update.

Integrated Power Management Reporting

Take advantage of potential power savings rebates from local power management companies or for showing a reduction in the overall carbon footprint through power consumption and power savings reports.

Continuous Power Monitoring

Measure actual endpoint uptime and states, such as on/monitor off/sleep, and more. A Power Usage Dashboard provides comprehensive management and easy audit control.

Simplifies Creation and Management of Power Policies

Optimizes IT operations and facilitates the enforcement of green policies in complex, distributed environments without relying on GPOs or impacting user productivity.

Increased Visibility and Control Over the IT Environment

By eliminating operational and security “blind-spots” through both scheduled and emergency maintenance windows organizations can effectively manage their distributed endpoints while also taking advantage of aggressive power policies that power-down inactive systems.

Improved Security at a Lower TCO

Enables rapid deployment of critical updates to machines that have been offline and provides the benefit of power management policies without having to sacrifice security efforts or employee productivity.

Optimize Power Savings

Monetize the effect of the power management policies with integrated power savings reports.

Enforce Green IT Policies

Ensure continuous compliance with green IT policies through ongoing power monitoring.
