Moving your organization to an environmentally friendly IT policy benefits both the environment and your bottom line. As energy costs continue to climb and environmental impact remains top of mind for many organizations, adopting energy efficient practices can save your organization money while also reducing your carbon footprint.

Becoming a Member

With today’s widespread focus on “green” issues, businesses are looking for real solutions that can lessen their environmental impact and reduce their energy costs. Improving the energy efficiency of computers is a cost-effective way to reduce electricity consumption and the emission of greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change.

The Climate Savers Computing Initiative is working to reduce computer power consumption by 50 percent by 2010. Members commit to purchasing energy-efficient PCs and servers for new IT purchases, and to broadly deploying power management. By publicly declaring your support for this important effort, your company can demonstrate its commitment to the “greening” of IT and join other industry-leading companies and organizations blazing new trails in corporate social responsibility and sustainable IT. It’s a winning proposition both for you and for the environment.

Wake on LAN Information
 
Wake on LAN technology allows a network administrator to remotely turn on or "wake" a computer from a sleep state. Remotely powering on computers to perform scheduled maintenance tasks allows them to be turned off over night, thereby reducing power consumption without interfering with maintenance processes.
