NEW BOUNDARY TECHNOLOGIES
ANNOUNCES PARTNERSHIP
WITH EPA’S ENERGY STAR PROGRAM
Company’s Green IT Solution
Automates PC Power Management
to Drive Energy Efficient,
Environmentally Friendly IT Operations
MINNEAPOLIS, February, 2009
–
www.newboundary.com – New Boundary
Technologies®, the IT automation innovator, has
joined the ranks of organizations making a
commitment to protect the environment by
becoming an ENERGY STAR® Service and Product
Provider (SPP) partner. New Boundary
Technologies, through its voluntary partnership
with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s
ENERGY STAR program, will work to improve energy
efficiency, promote sustainability, and reduce
harmful impact on the environment.
“Being a good corporate citizen
is part of our mission statement and culture,
and has been throughout the company’s history,”
said Tom Diamond, president of New Boundary
Technologies. “Our participation in the ENERGY
STAR partner program is an opportunity for us to
become environmental stewards and leaders in
helping other organizations embrace energy
conservation as a means to protect the
environment now and for future generations.”
In partnership with ENERGY STAR,
New Boundary Technologies will
-
Develop and implement a plan
consistent with the ENERGY STAR Energy
Management Guidelines to achieve energy
savings;
-
Communicate the importance of
energy efficiency to our staff, our
customers, and our community;
-
Encourage other organizations
we work with to take the ENERGY STAR
Challenge;
-
Develop and market software
solutions that help organizations reduce
energy consumption and improve energy
efficiency.
Consistent with the company’s
participation in the ENERGY STAR program, New
Boundary Technologies recently released a Green
IT Solution for managing PC power consumption
that can cut an organization’s overall use of
electricity by up to 15 percent, and cut use of
electricity powering PCs by 60 percent or more.
The Green IT Solution delivers centralized
control of PC power management to IT
departments, enabling enterprise-wide energy
efficiency and cost savings. Powered by
Policy Commander® and the company’s unique
PwrSmart™ technology, the Green IT Solution
dramatically reduces PC power consumption,
energy costs, and environmental impact.
Each year, U.S. companies waste
an estimated $4 billion powering computers that
are not being used. According to EPA estimates,
the average PC in a fully powered state uses
more than 700 kilowatts-hours of electricity,
more than an average refrigerator, and wastes
approximately 400 kilowatt-hours.
Proactively managing PC power consumption can
cut PC energy costs by 60 percent or more, or up
to $350,000 annually for an organization with
5000 PCs.
The Green IT Solution from New
Boundary Technologies delivers significant cost
savings by automating the implementation and
enforcement of power management policies on
Windows® desktops, laptops, and servers. The
solution deploys intelligent power management
policies to every computer administrators choose
to manage. It then monitors managed systems and
automatically enforces the selected power
management profiles and settings, even if end
users try to disable or change them. By
automatically enforcing PC power management, our
Green IT Solution creates self-monitoring and
self-maintaining computing environments that
maximize savings with minimal impact on the IT
staff.
“Environmental responsibility is
everyone’s responsibility, and today I’m pleased
that New Boundary Technologies is taking this
motto to heart,” said EPA Administrator Stephen
L. Johnson. “By making smart energy choices and
helping their customers do the same, New
Boundary Technologies is helping improve our
nation’s energy and environmental outlook.”
