Reduction per PC of Energy Consumption
SEATTLE, Dec. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Verdiem, the leading developer of
power management software for PC networks, today announced that more than
half-a-million PCs in the private and public sector are saving energy
through deployment of SURVEYOR, the company's flagship product. This
represents a 100 percent increase from 2006. With recent customer wins
including companies and organizations such as Random House, Turner
Broadcasting, Clear Channel Radio San Francisco, and The Wilderness
Society, Verdiem completes 2007 having made a significant contribution to
organizations' efforts to go green.
"SURVEYOR offers an easy-to-use solution for The Wilderness Society to
centrally manage our PC power and reduce our carbon footprint," said
Patricia Holmes, Director of IT for The Wilderness Society, a nonprofit
advocacy organization that works to protect America's wilderness and
wildlife. "In a short amount of time, we've experienced a significant drop
in PC energy use and 34 percent energy savings."
Other highlights from the year include:
-- Securing financing from Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, which Al Gore
recently joined as a partner
-- Partnering with HP to combine SURVEYOR with the performance,
reliability and environmentally conscious design of HP business desktop
PCs
-- Delivering measurable savings of approximately $10 million and over
107 million kilowatt hours of electricity to customers
"This has been a year of significant growth, of our business and of
corporate awareness around sustainability, and we expect 2008 to be even
stronger for adoption of our SURVEYOR power management software," said
Kevin Klustner, CEO, Verdiem. "Corporate sustainability, and specifically
greening IT, is just hitting its stride, and our solution makes a
significant and immediate impact on the global carbon footprint, PC energy
waste and the bottom line."
According to Gartner, PCs and monitors account for 40 percent of global
carbon dioxide emissions from information and communication technology.(1)
