LONDON, June 1 /PRNewswire/ --

- Eden Project Implements Market Leading PC Power Management
Solution to Reduce Costs

1E, a leading provider of Windows management software and
services who specialize in reducing costs within the business environment,
today announces that the Eden Project in Cornwall has licensed its PC power
management software. The organisation is currently deploying NightWatchman
and 1E WakeUp across its PC estate as well as the retail point-of-sale till
sites, ensuring substantial savings throughout the organisation and a
significant reduction in the carbon footprint of the project.

With over one million visitors annually, the award-winning
Eden Project is one of the UK's leading visitor attractions and an
environmental education charity. The software supplied by 1E has been
implemented across hundreds of desktop computers and till outlets across the
Eden site. The installation will allow the IT department to schedule an
automatic maintenance window, whereby all the machines within the
organisation can be automatically booted up for any security and maintenance
patches.

Head of IT at the Eden Project, Jon Curry, believes that the
software will also be able to enable the organisation to make significant
savings on both their carbon footprint and energy costs. Curry commented,
"Because of Eden's work as an education charity, most of our team already
have a high awareness of the importance of energy saving and switching off
their PC at the end of the day, but now NightWatchman allows us to make sure
100% of machines are off. More importantly for the first time it has provided
us with a comprehensive and efficient power management routine for our till
network. We calculate that with the savings provided by the system, the 1E
software will have paid for itself in less then 9 months.

Curry continued, "The implementation of the power management
software is part of a wider Green IT strategy that we are currently
implementing here at the Eden Project. Through a combination of more energy
efficient hardware, power management and virtualization we aim to reduce
ICT's power consumption this year by 35%, and 1E's software is making a
significant contribution to achieving that target."

Sumir Karayi, CEO, 1E, commented, "The Eden Project is one of
the landmark projects for the environment in the UK - ever since its
inception in 2000, it has proved an important organisation that continues to
focus people's attention on the environment and the impact we have on nature,
driving an understanding of what we need to do to help our planet survive.
We're delighted that we're able to help them reduce the carbon footprint of
their PC estate through the implementation of our software."

Already installed across three million PCs globally,
NightWatchman enhances the power management capabilities of a customer's
computer by providing graceful shutdowns with the ability to save opened
files; and combines this with an effective scheduling system in a single,
easy-to-use package. 1E WakeUp ensures that all PCs targeted for software and
patch distributions are turned on and ready to receive them, reducing the
chance that a PC will miss a vital patch. In addition, built-in Computer
Health functionality periodically runs tests and applies fixes designed to
improve availability, reliability and performance.
