Welcome
Power Management
Use Power Management to control, monitor, and manage conservation policies in your deployment.
Power Management User's Guide
Power Management is policy-driven software for distributed environments. Built on IBM® BigFix technology, it allows you to apply conservation policies infrastructure-wide, while providing the granularity to apply power management policies to a single computer.
Use Power Management
Power Management offers tools like Fixlets and wizards to regulate computer power states and reduce energy wastage from idle computers. Users can control sleep, hibernation, and standby modes through the Reduce Power Consumption node in the navigation tree.
Reduce Power Consumption
The Reduce Power Consumption section provides tools for implementing power-saving strategies, including a wizard for creating power profile Fixlets and a listing of existing Fixlets in the Manage Power Profiles subnode.

  - Overview
    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 offers tools like Fixlets and wizards to regulate computer power states and reduce energy wastage from idle computers. Users can control sleep, hibernation, and standby modes through the Reduce Power Consumption node in the navigation tree.
    - Power savings strategies
      BigFix offers power saving strategies like enabling Monitor Standby, System Standby, and powering off computers at specific times. These strategies aim to reduce power consumption efficiently, with System Standby being the most effective method despite requiring users to wake the computer before use.
    - Reduce Power Consumption
      The Reduce Power Consumption section provides tools for implementing power-saving strategies, including a wizard for creating power profile Fixlets and a listing of existing Fixlets in the Manage Power Profiles subnode.
    - Manage power profiles
      Manage power profiles by utilizing the Create Power Profile Fixlets wizard to set computers to low-power mode during idle times. The wizard allows for creating single or multiple power profiles, with options to customize settings and initiate deployment for efficient power management.
  - Manage wakeup behavior
    Manage wakeup behavior through Power Management tools, including Fixlets and Wizards, to bring a computer online at specific times. Utilize dashboards, Fixlets, and wizards within the Manage Wakeup Behavior node to control wakeup settings, schedule Wake-on-LAN, and Wake-from-Standby tasks.
  - Web Reports
    Power Management Web Reports offer a comprehensive overview of power usage for management and decision-making purposes. Accessible by logging in with a username and password, users can view and assess reports by selecting Systems Lifecycle from the main Web Reports page.
