Level Platforms Partners Cash In by Going Green

LPI Level Platforms Inc., the global market leader for remote monitoring and management software for Managed Services Providers (MSPs), announced the release of a report that presents solution providers with a process to identify Green IT opportunities that reduce both costs and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for themselves and their small and mid-sized (SMB) customers.

Level Platforms estimates that a typical solution provider and their end customers can generate savings of $190,000.00 per year from a combination of actions facilitated by Managed Workplace®, Level Platforms award winning remote monitoring and management solution. From a purely Green perspective considering only travel reduction and power management, this amounts to approximately 9.2 metric tons of carbon per year. With Carbon Trading and Carbon Taxation proposals in discussion or implementation by governments and major corporations around the world, Level Platforms is taking the lead in helping its partners realize the Green benefits generated from the transition to remote monitoring and management.

The report, Green IT: A Big Opportunity for Managed Services, explores how Managed Workplace® can reduce costs and GHG emissions for MSPs and their end customers through Travel Reductions, Intelligent Power Management, Monitor Replacement, Server Consolidation and Virtualization, Server Rightsizing and Uninterruptible Power Supply Optimization.

“Using the advanced remote monitoring and management of Managed Workplace® is a proven strategy to reduce energy consumption,” said Perry McDonald, Vice President Marketing, Level Platforms. “For example, most PC’s are capable of automatically transitioning to a sleep state but it’s estimated that almost 90% have this function disabled. Managed Workplace® allows solution providers to remotely power-on and off Intel® vPro™ equipped desktop systems at a pre-determined time and have them up and running again for the following business day. This means that organizations can implement a “power-off” policy ultimately saving more than 60% of the electricity consumed by typical desktop systems. ”

With more than 2500 Partners in over 30 countries, Level Platforms is the leading remote monitoring and management software platform used by solution providers delivering managed services to support their small and medium-sized end customers’ IT networks.

“We pride ourselves on being an eco-friendly IT company.” said Graham Bray, Managing Director, CF Systems of Cornwall, UK. “Managed Workplace® allows us to proactively monitor our customer sites and remotely address issues. The reduction in our transportation costs alone provides us with 1.5 metric tons of carbon credits per year. In addition we are saving an estimated $1,500 per annum in fuel costs and 25 hours a week in reduced travel time for our technicians. Managed Workplace has proven to be both an eco-friendly and profitable solution for CF Systems.”
