14 DAY TRIAL // Verdiem, an enterprise software company focused on IT energy management, has announced that its flagship product, Surveyor, is fully compatible with Apple’s OS X Lion.
Surveyor is described by the folks at Verdiem as being the industry’s most advanced solution for helping enterprises centrally control and reduce computer energy consumption by up to 60 percent.
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg, says Verdiem. The real benefit, according to the company, is that all this is achieved without impacting end users or IT departments at all.
Verdiem calculates that Macs represent approximately 3.5 percent of worldwide PC sales for the time being.
However, with the Mac gaining more and more momentum (and, thus, market-share), its adoption is also increasing within the enterprise.
Verdiem Surveyor targets this particular branch and allows IT professionals to strengthen and ensure consistency in cross-platform management and security, while at the same time manage power across platforms.
“Today’s announcement supports our vision of providing IT managers with an enterprise solution for managing power consumption on multiple platforms, and increases the energy savings and financial benefits that our clients achieve,” said John Scumniotales, president and CEO of Verdiem.
“The OS X Lion release has been highly anticipated by our customers, many of whom maintain mixed Windows and Mac environments,” Scumniotales continued.
“We are pleased to offer them the ability to control power states, as well as to better manage and report energy usage and carbon savings across all computers in their environment,” Scumniotales concluded.
Verdiem claims to have saved its customers more than $200 million in utility costs and two billion kilowatt hours since the company was founded.
Their portfolio includes more than 600 corporations, government agencies, and universities that have reportedly deployed the company’s flagship product on roughly 1.7 million seats, saving on average $20 to $60 per computer every year.
