Power Save Mac uses non-disruptive computer energy management to ensure workstations are available when system resources are required, while conserving power during productivity downtimes. With Power Save Mac, computers can be configured to shut down, start up, sleep, and wake based upon CPU, disk, and application activity. The application activity feature is particularly useful if you would like to prevent energy management from taking place whenever a certain program is running.
Power Save Mac integrates seamlessly with Apple Remote Desktop (ARD) and third-party management utilities, allowing administrators to easily deploy their power saving configuration package enterprise-wide. Power Save Mac even has the ability to generate detailed reports outlining workstation-level energy consumption levels and associated costs savings both before and after deploying Power Save Mac.
