IBM Endpoint Manager for Power Management

Manage power settings for your endpoints

• Allows you to manage power options on Windows and Mac OS X desktops, notebooks and servers with minimal impact on budgets and staff.
• Supports up to 250,000 endpoints from a single management server.
• Assesses power status continuously without impacting system performance, reporting configuration changes to the central management server.
• Allows you to apply built-in capabilities to deal with common power management issues such as PC insomnia.
• Addresses ad-hoc power management control through “Last Man Standing” computers, and Wake-on-LAN (WoL) forwarders or directed broadcasts for flexibility and effectiveness.

Control energy costs and support green initiatives

• Provides near real-time tracking. System administrators know how much time an endpoint spends in idle, standby and off states. This creates an accurate view of current power usage and costs.
• Enables administrators to create highly complex power profiles that can be used to generate savings even in unusual computer usage scenarios.
• Provides a “what-if” scenario calculator, which helps project potential energy savings and encourages conservation initiatives.
• Generates reports that help you visualize ongoing energy consumption and savings, and measure the associated ecological impact.

Empower users

• Helps maximize user participation by letting users choose from a menu of predetermined power configuration options.
• Engages users with a client-side dashboard that demonstrates projected impact of applying a particular power profile and shows actual savings achieved over time.
• Preserves user data by automatically saving documents prior to beginning a shutdown or sleep/standby procedure.
• Schedules WoL to enable endpoint wake-up before the start of the workday or for scheduled maintenance.
• Enables users to remotely “wake up” their own machines through a web console.

Make the most of Bigfix technology

• Places an intelligent agent on each endpoint. This single agent performs multiple functions including continuous self-assessment and policy enforcement with minimal impact on system performance.
• Includes near real time and continuous reporting and analysis from the intelligent agents on your organization’s endpoints.
• Allows any agent to be configured as a relay between other agents and the console. This relay function allows the use of existing servers or workstations to transfer packages throughout the network, reducing the need for servers.
• Supports the Fixlet Relevance Language. This published command language enables customers, IBM Business Partners and developers to create custom policies and services for endpoints managed by IBM Endpoint Manager software.
