    With the BigFix® Power® Management solution, IT organizations can enforce conservation policies across the enterprise, while providing granularity that enables application of these policies to a single computer. Specifically, you can monitor, manage, and control the power usage settings on the computers in your network
  - Use Power Management
    Power Management provides a suite of Fixlets and wizards to help control computer power states and minimize waste caused by computers running while not in use. You can manage sleep, hibernation, and standby states on your running computers in the Reduce Power Consumption node in the navigation tree.
  - Manage wakeup behavior
    Power Management provides Fixlets and Wizards to bring a computer online and take actions and manage the computer at specific times.
  - Web Reports
    Power Management Web Reports provides high-level summary data for management and decision makers to view and assess power usage in a deployment.
    - Model Power Savings
      This report calculates how much power you can lose or save if you apply different power profiles across your deployment based on your current usage patterns.
    - Power consumption over time
      The Power consumption over time report charts the average computer power consumption over a specified time period, and displays cost or savings compared to a baseline cost based on the start date.
    - Weekly Power Consumption Over Time
      The Weekly Power Consumption Over Time report charts the average weekly power consumption data (in cost, power, or carbon) per computer over a weekly period.
    - Power Management Daily Activity State breakdown
      The Power Management Daily Activity State breakdown report displays a breakdown of the average day by activity state.
    - Weekly Idle Time Breakdown Over Time
      The Weekly Idle Time Breakdown Over Time report shows the weekly idle time breakdown per computer over a selected time period. It also shows the reduction of idle time (in hours) realized compared to the start week.
    - Power Management settings
      The Power Management settings report shows the percentage of computers that have power management settings enabled on a specific day. It can also be set to compare the improvements between two different days. The comparison function requires that historical power tracking is enabled.
    - Wake on Web
      This report issues a Wake-on-LAN request to a specified list of computers, and displays warnings if the WoL infrastructure is not configured correctly to issue a wakeup.
  - Frequently asked questions
