ManageEngine Desktop Central Upgrade Supports the "Greening" of IT; Software Minimizes Energy Use
Automates Shutdown of Computers During Non-Office Hours; Generates Monthly Reports Used in Claiming Utility Rebates
AUSTIN, TX--(Marketwire - January 27, 2009) - ManageEngine, makers of a globally renowned suite of cost effective network, systems and security management software solutions, today announced an update to Desktop Central, the company's web-based Windows Desktop Management Software, with new features designed to help enterprises reduce the level of power consumed by PCs. The updated Desktop Central allows administrators to virtually eliminate unnecessary power consumption, reducing their company's carbon footprint and its energy bills, while generating revenue through power-usage reporting, which is key to claiming rebates from local utility companies.
Desktop Central's power management feature allows IT administrators to standardize the power settings of all computers across the network at once from a central management console. Through Desktop Central, administrators may:
-- Create and apply different power schemes to various types of users
-- Hibernate or standby idle computers automatically
-- Schedule shutdown of computers during non-office hours
-- Schedule system start-up just prior to users arriving at work
-- Generate system uptime reports to claim rebates.
"With corporations focused on 'Go Green' initiatives and coping with tough economic times, saving energy and saving money are priorities," said Mathivanan Venkatachalam, director of product management at ManageEngine. "One of the easiest ways to cut expenses is to effectively reduce the power consumption of the computers in the organization. Desktop Central's Power Management helps enterprises save big on energy bills and protect the environment by reducing the amount of work that power plants must do, much of which produces harmful byproducts, such as air pollution and disruption of natural habitats."

The updated Desktop Central software is available now for download directly from the company's website at manageengine.adventnet.com/products/desktop-central/index.html?prjan09. ManageEngine offers a 30-day evaluation license of the Professional Edition. A permanent Free Edition is also available for small businesses.
