reBlog from Chris Gonsalves: Spiceworks Adds Tasty Power Plug-In

I found this fascinating quote today:




  • Remote power consumption management that allows users to track the electricity being used by PCs, laptops, and other networked devices. This includes the ability to use Wake On LAN and Intel’s vPro technologies to power devices on and off.

  • A power management dashboard with a map of networked machines and devices along with their on/off status.

  • A “Dollar Savings” view that displays estimates of costs per day and month based on current price/kwh and watts used by networked devices.
