What is the PowerPlug Pro System and How Does it Work?
The PowerPlug Pro system is an advanced software solution for managing energy consumption, designed for medium and large organizations. This software allows you to significantly optimize the energy consumption of the computers in your organization by automatically adjusting their power settings. We understand the need to save on operating costs, so we have developed a system capable of managing tens of thousands of personal computers from a single server, without compromising employee productivity or disrupting the routine operations of the IT department.
How Does PowerPlug Pro Lead to Energy Savings?
The software works by implementing a pre-defined power policy, allowing you to schedule shutdowns, sleep modes, and power-on times for computers. For example, you can set computers to enter sleep mode after working hours, or to shut down automatically at the end of the business day. In doing so, PowerPlug Pro helps you dramatically reduce energy use and associated costs. A desktop computer that remains on continuously consumes about 90-100 watts per hour – 18 to 33 times more energy than a personal computer in power-saving mode, which consumes only about 3-5 watts per hour. For organizations of your size, energy savings on this scale can translate into very significant savings on electricity bills.
PowerPlug Pro not only saves you money, but also contributes to reducing your organization's carbon footprint. By reducing electricity consumption, you reduce CO2 emissions into the atmosphere, thereby contributing to a greener environment. We are proud to say that PowerPlug was founded in 2009 with the aim of helping organizations dramatically cut their electricity bills. Our clients include leading hospitals and medical companies, academic institutions, local authorities, government agencies, cellular operators, and IT companies, all of whom benefit from the economic and environmental advantages of the system.
What Technological Features Make PowerPlug Pro an Effective Solution?
PowerPlug Pro offers a wide range of advanced technological features, making it an efficient and cost-effective power management solution for your organization. We emphasize flexibility, security, and seamless integration with your existing systems.
How Does PowerPlug Pro Enable Advanced Power Policy Management?
Our system allows you to create a customized power policy, specifically designed for the work patterns of employees and the activity of computers in your organization. You can define precise conditions for working hours and non-working hours, and assign each group of computers the policy intended for it. This flexibility ensures that energy savings are achieved without compromising productivity. For example, you can set computers in the development department to remain on even at night for updates, while computers in the marketing department will enter sleep mode after business hours.
How Does Wake-on-LAN Mesh Technology Ensure Operational Flexibility?
One of our most unique and advanced features is the patented Wake-on-LAN Mesh technology. This technology allows PowerPlug Pro to turn on any personal computer in complex networks, even across multiple subnets, without compromising security or requiring any configuration changes. This capability ensures that your IT team can access computers and perform maintenance operations on them, even when they are turned off or in sleep mode, while maintaining business continuity.

How Does PowerPlug Pro Integrate with Your Organization's Existing Systems?
PowerPlug Pro is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing systems in your organization, such as Microsoft Active Directory, Microsoft Configuration Manager (SCCM), and various attendance systems. This built-in integration streamlines management and increases the success rate of software distribution tasks. You benefit from centralized management capabilities, simplifying maintenance processes and reducing the burden on your IT team. With a short learning curve and almost zero maintenance, PowerPlug Pro does not add an additional burden on the team, but rather frees it to focus on more critical tasks.
What are the Economic and Environmental Benefits of Using PowerPlug Pro?
Implementing PowerPlug Pro in your organization yields significant economic and environmental benefits, making it a smart and worthwhile investment. We offer you a solution that combines cost savings with a contribution to environmental protection.
How Does PowerPlug Pro Lead to Significant Savings in Electricity Costs?
The most immediate and prominent economic benefit of PowerPlug Pro is the dramatic savings in electricity costs. One desktop computer can consume about $150 worth of electricity per year. Proper management of electricity consumption through our system can cut this cost by at least half. This means that your organization can start saving money from day one, and achieve a full return on investment in just 4 months. We see this time and again in field case studies: Clalit Health Services, for example, managed to save $1.2 million a year after implementing the system on 40,000 computers. Rambam Medical Campus experienced a full return on investment in less than 4 months with a 60% decrease in electricity consumption, and Ben Gurion University achieved savings of over 50% in computer electricity consumption.
How Does PowerPlug Pro Contribute to Reducing Carbon Emissions and Protecting the Environment?
Beyond the financial savings, PowerPlug Pro allows you to significantly reduce your organization's carbon footprint. Large organizations are increasingly aware of their environmental impacts, and high electricity consumption takes a toll on the environment. By implementing a reliable program for managing the electricity consumption of personal computers and striving to reduce consumption, you are actively contributing to the global effort to reduce carbon emissions. An assessment by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is that putting computers into 'sleep' mode cuts energy use by 60% to 70%. Rambam Medical Center, for example, prevented the emission of 350,000 kg of CO2 into the atmosphere, and Ben Gurion University prevented the emission of over 250 tons of CO2. PowerPlug was founded in 2009 with the aim of helping organizations dramatically cut their electricity bills, and our clients include leading hospitals, academic institutions, local authorities, and IT companies, all committed to economic savings and a sustainable environment.
