Yesterday, Matthew Wheeland wrote a great article on Power PC Management in GreenBiz.com called, 10 Things to Know About PC Power Management. In it he lays out ten things that all IT managers should know. While we at JouleX do not believe that all PC Power Management solutions are the same, Matthew makes some excellent points. Here is is list of ten:
- Screen savers are not power management.
- PC power management can save you big money.
- Installing a power management system can be free. Although it sounds too good to be true, there are a number of rebate programs available -- mostly through utility companies -- that will earn you a set amount of money for each PC you install power management software on.
- PC power management starts saving money right away.
- There are many different vendors.
- PC power management is a "set it and forget it" project.
- Power management works without disturbing end users.
- Start small, then move big.
- Executive support is critical to successful PC power management.
- You can do it yourself, but there's a catch. Every operating system comes with energy management tools pre-installed -- although only recently have they been shipped with those controls activated.
For larger companies, the savings are immense when a PC Power Management solution is deployed. JouleX takes this a step further by managing the power of not just PCs but also all of the devices and systems connected to the corporate network.Thank you for taking the time to visit the JouleX IT Blog.

There is a great article by Scott Dodd of OnEarth. His article Heat + New Gizmo = Power lays out what is being done to try to harness the heat created from corporate resources such as data centers and turning the heat back into electricity.
"In 1882 Thomas Edison built the nation's first power plant in Lower Manhattan, selling electricity to New York City's rich and powerful. Edison himself flipped the first light switch in the Wall Street offices of J. P. Morgan. But Pearl Street station, equipped with six 27-ton dynamos, also produced tremendous amounts of heat. Edison, always the problem solver, used that heat to make steam, which he then sold to nearby businesses, where it was used to power factories and warm buildings during the winter."
Green Tech may not just about conservation anymore. He discusses a chip that is in design that will convert heat into electricity...
"The concept is simple: a device made of a semiconducting material is sandwiched between two strong conductors. When one side gets hot, electrons begin to flow toward the cooler side. The semiconductor channels them into a wire, creating a flow of electricity that can be directed back into the original gadget, engine, or other heat-generating device, acting as an additional power source."

Funding for Green Tech companies is seeing a steady increase. According to a recent article in the Financial Times:
The number of funds investing in private-equity clean tech – including renewable energy, recycling, anti-pollution, conservation and power supply – is up more than fivefold from 90 five years ago to 530 this year, according to Preqin, the research house.
“These businesses are growing at 20 to 30 per cent a year,” says Shai Weiss, a London-based partner at Virgin Green Fund, a $220m fund backed by Sir Richard Branson and other big investors including Macquarie, Credit Suisse and Calpers.
