Go Green with NightWatchman 5.0

NightWatchman® 5.0, a green friendly application developed by 1E is now compatible with Windows Vista. This software allows businesses to save power thus reducing energy bills by simply turning off computers left at night. It is said that NightWatchman helps businesses save $50 / £43 a year as companies with thousands of running computers left at night could be a pain in the bills.

I am guilty of that as well as countless of people I know who simply close their monitors and leave their computers open throughout the night, or even during long days of holiday break. We really don’t like the idea of waiting our computers to boot up during the morning and would like to use it immediately. :) I know that is pretty lame but still, I can’t recall of anyone diligently turning off their computer when leaving the office. :)

NightWatchman promise to bring the following benefits:

Reduces bottom-line energy costs, saves energy and reduces CO2 emissions
Automatically shuts down PCs according to a centrally controlled schedule
Protects unsaved user data prior to shutdown
Ensures 100% patch management and software update success
Provides fast, detailed reporting on current and future potential savings
Schedules daily, immediate or one-off shutdowns
Centrally controllable using any systems management tool
Minimizes the window of opportunity for virus infiltration
Easily installable lightweight desktop client

If you are a manager, you might want to check this application out as there are lots of stubborn guys out there. :)
