brightstack Managed Services and Intel vPro

With Intel vPro and brightstack Managed Services, organizations no longer need to leave PC's on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.  The vPro chip set allows brightstack's Managed Services platform to remotely turn computers on and off.  This way, once maintenance is completed (such as patch management and virus scans), the PC's can be automatically turned off.  Our Managed Services platform can then turn the PC's back on prior to the start of the work day.  Through this process, PC's can be turned off at times they aren't needed, such as after work hours and on the weekends. Furthermore, vPro is enabled by next-generation hafnium-infused 45nm Intel® Core microarchitecture offering reduced electrical current leakage and increased performance while the new efficient design helps PCs meet ENERGY STAR* requirements.

ShoreTel has low carbon foot print; enables telecommunications

brightstack partner, ShoreTel, has designed their products to be environmentally friendly, and ShoreTel solutions use significantly less power, require less cooling, have a longer useful life, and take up less space than competitive solutions. This results in substantially lower carbon emissions versus comparable solutions from major competitive manufacturers. Analysis of specific deployments at which a ShoreTel solution replaced a competitor shows empirically that ShoreTel uses up to 40 percent less power than other leading brands. ShoreTel's unique architecture also allows for easy single-system administration of geographically dispersed sites. This saves trips to do on-site maintenance and administration such as moves/adds/changes, thereby saving time and fuel. In addition, telecommunications by its very nature allows people to communicate across distance. This is taking on a new meaning today – using ShoreTel unified communications solutions including voice, video, IM, and data sharing, our customers are able to conduct business effectively without meeting face to face, reducing the need to travel, which minimizes carbon emissions from fossil fuel-powered transportation.
