Who We Are

VerdiemVerdiem is focused on enterprise PC energy management.

Our vision is to measure, monitor and manage the global carbon footprint of IT devices worldwide.

can cut your PC energy costs and carbon emissions by as much as 60%.

A Growing Problem

• The typical PC/monitor combination uses 586 kWh* of energy annually– Equivalent to around 450 kilograms of CO2

– Two thirds of that energy is wasted

• Current energy management solutions aren’t doing enough**– 90% of PC users disable their power settings– 60% of PCs are left running after hours

**http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=ofc_equip.pr_office_equipment

A Growing Problem• PCs and monitors account for up to 1% of total commercial

electricity consumed*– In the U.S., 44 billion kWh is estimated to be wasted by office PCs

and monitors left on each year, costing enterprises $4 billion per year (>$10M every day)**

Personalised Energy Assessment

• 161,521 gallons of fuel consumed*

• 323 acres of pine or fir forest saved*

* Total cost after year 1 includes ongoing maintenance.

• 261 passenger cars off the road*

• 3,309 barrels of oil consumed*

• Greenhouse Gas emissions avoided by re-cycling 491 tons of waste instead of sending it to the landfill

This annual energy and carbon emission reduction is equal to:

One Product, One Console, One Client

Easy to use, and flexible across management systems with central management

Group PCs by Operational Requirements

Users automatically grouped based on IP addresses, locations, and subnets or other variables

Laptops Vs Desktop

Specific policies and auto-grouping to customise settings, maximise savings

Intelligent Power Management

Intelligent profiling identifies optimal times for power savings, with specific power profiles for multiple schemes in one central location

Establish policies based on hard evidence – with granular reporting, baselines and history to allow trending

Wake-on-Wan & Intel vPro

Robust, patent-pending wake-up solution allows Wake-on-LAN in any network topology, across unlimited subnets

Patch Management

SURVEYOR Wakeup for SMS/SCCM enables reliable, network-wide patch, maintenance, back-up and other administrative work – using only the power you need and with deep meaningful reporting.

In-Depth Reporting

Accurate, third-party-verified reporting tools give you visibility into the power and carbon savings across the PC network.

For example:

Detailed views on power consumption across your network, available with hourly granularity

View exceptions that may trigger Insomnia to maximise energy savings

Detailed Exception Reporting

Easy administrative reporting to quickly identify and resolve one-off exceptions to group power policies

Number of Hours on

SURVEYOR captures the power state a PC is in.

Number of Hours in Use

SURVEYOR captures the PC activity

Assign Security Settings

Reduce vulnerability to client-server attacks with client-initiated sessions

Role-based authorisation integrated with Windows domain security

Client-server encryption

Client authentication of server with valid signed certificate

Intel vPro integration

Protect Unsaved Work

Power State Transition Manager ensures graceful shutdown, protection of unsaved documents

Remote Device Configuration

Centrally manage hardware policies to ensure reliable wake-up on user input (Wake on Mouse, Wake on Keyboard)
