SAN RAMON, CA, August 27, 2009 — Faronics is pleased to announce its participation in Power IT Down Day on August 27th, 2009. Promoted by Microsoft, Citrix and HP, this is the second consecutive year of the one day event that encourages individuals in government and industry to be responsible energy consumers by turning off computers, monitors, printers and electronic devices at the end of the business day. Faronics’ contribution to Power Down IT day reinforces its commitment to reducing IT energy consumption.
