7.c.v: Power Management

Other Information:

To ensure the security of MCC's network all systems must be routinely patched. This process is managed through a set of automated tools that support the use of "wake on LAN.". Wake on LAN is a technology that allows support personnel to power up laptops and desktops connected to the network for maintenance. While this change has resulted in a reduction in power usage, the OCIO is assessing the costs and benefits of implementing a managed power solution that would proactively power down equipment when not in use.
