Faronics POWER SAVE MAC User Manual

Product Data Sheet

Automated Energy Conservation

Faronics Power Save Mac dramatically reduces an organization’s
operating costs by eliminating computer energy waste. In fact, for
every 1,000 computers Faronics Power Save Mac is deployed on,
organizations will save up to $40,000 per year.

Faronics Power Save Mac keeps computers running when users need
them, powers them down when they are inactive, and can prove its
rapid return-on-investment through energy savings reports. Power
Save Mac is also the only computer energy management solution
that analyzes CPU, disk, keyboard, mouse, and application status
before taking power management actions.

“We’ve deployed Power Save enterprise-wide on all our computers, which is saving us over $50,000 per year in energy costs.

at’s $50,000 that we now have to buy new IT equipment and soware, hire more personnel, or invest into employee training.”

– Sung Lee, Director of Computer Support, Howard Community College
