NetSupport DNA 3.(IT News and Products)

Desktop and Asset Management specialists NetSupport announce the worldwide release of their Enterprise Management Suite, NetSupport DNA version 3 including as standard a new Energy Monitoring component.

PCs and monitors account for 39% of the IT industry's emissions, equal to a year of C02 emissions from approximately 43.9 million cars. For most organisations the efficient use of energy delivers two key operational requirements:- cost reductions and improved environmental responsibility. The two elements combined can be considered as "Green IT"--everyone is talking about reducing CO2 emissions and in the current economic climate, reducing energy bills is an equally appealing target.

"Industry analysts show that IT energy costs are often one of the highest on the company's IT budget and one that is most overlooked for efficiency management." says Al Kingsley, Group Managing Director of NetSupport. "NetSupport DNA already checks to verify the powered-on state of all computers across an Enterprise and its local monitoring component keeps an accurate record of each time a computer is powered on, off or hibernates. DNA3 now provides organisations with a method for calculating an indicative energy usage figure which when combined with each customer's specific energy rates highlights the overall cost of identified systems. Department heads or management can immediately see a high level view of energy usage by computers across the organisation, see where "out of hours" usage is highest and identify whether this is a result of diligent staff working late or simply systems that have been left switched on overnight."
