Configure Power Management

SysTrack Power Manager allows organizations to substantially reduce their energy costs and eliminate negative environmental impacts through the agent’s regular monitoring of active vs. idle states of a system and putting the system into hibernate or sleep modes during those idle time periods.

There are two factors that determine if a system should be on or off.

  • A calculated schedule
  • A set of conditions is met for the given power saving mode
