achieve your sustainability goals?
NIGHTWATCHMAN enables the
enterprise to slash power consumption,
spend and carbon footprint while
actively improving PC health.

Automated control of PC power usage

saves individual enterprises millions
in energy bills per year while actively

lifespan of the entire PC estate.

doesnt have to cost the earth

When it came to selecting a PC

power management solution it was
important that it would integrate
fully with our systems management
tool, ConfigMgr is not elegant enough
by itself for the power management
functionality we wanted.

NIGHTWATCHMAN PC Power and Patch Management

Key Features
Accurate Reporting with Credible Savings
Predictions
Using actual PC (make and model) power
consumption figures from a comprehensive catalog
with local energy tariffs, NightWatchman builds
a highly accurate picture of energy use, carbon
emissions and costs by department, building or
region. The accuracy of savings are further enhanced
by using multiple baselines for a before and after
measure of energy consumption.

Automatically Wake and Patch Every PC

WakeUp uses Wake-on-LAN to reliably and instantly
wake up single or multiple PCs at any time. This
enables you to ensure that PCs are powered on
and available when users arrive for work, for support
after hours, after a power cut, or for distribution of
high priority security patches. NightWatchman and
WakeUp together provide 100% patch success even
out-of-hours.

Web WakeUp

PC Estate Profiler
This unique new feature of NightWatchman
identifies unused PCs providing the ability to safely
decommission them. It gives visibility into locations
of those PCs enabling organizations to not only
reallocate unused PCs, but also the associated desk
space. (See next page for more detail).

Web WakeUp enables users to remotely wake their

own PC (or multiple PCs) for access at any time
through a customizable web portal or a smartphone.
Especially useful for travelling or telecommuting users
it enables users to wake up their own PC for remote
access or can wake up PCs across an entire floor/
building ready for use when users arrive at their desks.

Safe Shutdown

Supports Secure Environments

NightWatchmans user-friendly approach means

productivity is never impacted. User data is always
saved whenever a PC is powered down and
NightWatchman will detect and defer shutdown if a
user is still active

WakeUp is Common Criteria certified and the only

solution available to support reliable Wake-on-LAN for
computers on 802.1x secure VLANs.
