Markham, ON - You can't fix what you don't measure. Desktop energy use is no different. This makes NetSupport's announcement of the worldwide release of their Enterprise Management Suite worth noting. NetSupport DNA version 3 includes as standard a new energy monitoring component.

"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."
   
NetSupport DNA 3 also introduces a new Internet Gateway component ensuring that all IT assets, even those at remote locations are included and managed in real time. The Internet Gateway provides secure IP communications over the internet for managing assets that may ordinarily be 'hidden' on a remote network or behind firewalls.
