Abstract
A management and monitoring server monitors and manages power use and power utilization settings of multiple network information devices, such as computers, printers, and network storage devices. An agent, such as a software module, executes on each of the managed information devices to transmit power use data to the server and to receive power setting instructions from the server. A web server provides an interface through which an administrative user can access reports relating to power use by the devices and through which power use settings of the devices can be configured. Reports can include statistical information relating to, for example, hours per day devices spend in various states, such as on, idle, sleep, or monitor standby. Based upon reports and/or specified policies, the server configures power settings of the devices through the agents.
