Company Releases Automated Solution to Enable Proactive, Enterprise-Wide Enforcement of PC Power Management
MINNEAPOLIS, November 11, 2008 – www.newboundary.com – New Boundary Technologies®, the IT automation innovator, today announced the release of its new Green IT Solution. Powered by Policy Commander® and the company’s unique PwrSmart™ technology, the Green IT Solution automates the enforcement of computer power management to dramatically reduce PC and computer monitor power consumption, energy costs, and environmental impact. The New Boundary Technologies Green IT Solution delivers centralized control of PC power management to IT departments enabling enterprise-wide energy efficiency and cost savings.
Research indicates that more than 100 million workers in the U.S. regularly use PCs on the job, and the majority of them never or only occasionally turn off those computers at the end of the workday. According to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates, the average PC left on all the time uses more than 700 kilowatts-hours of electricity, more than an average refrigerator, and wastes approximately 400 kilowatt-hours by running at full power when not in use. Each year, U.S. companies waste an estimated $4-billion powering computers that are not being used. Proactively managing PC power consumption can cut PC energy costs by 60 percent or more, or up to $350,000 annually for an organization with 5000 PCs. In fact, the potential for energy cost savings by implementing proactive PC power management is one reason Gartner named Green IT as its top strategic technology of 2008.

MINNEAPOLIS, January 24, 2008 – www.newboundary.com – New Boundary Technologies®, the automated IT management innovator, today announced the release of Policy Commander 2.0, which easily makes Windows desktop, laptop and server systems exponentially safer and more compliant.
Available immediately, Policy Commander 2.0 leverages innovative security policy management technologies that automate Windows security configuration enforcement to create sustainable compliance environments.
“Testing and implementing security policies without an automated solution can put a severe drain on IT resources,” said Kim Pearson, president and chief executive officer of New Boundary Technologies. “Policy Commander lets IT put the focus of security on the computer, where confidential data actually resides, where the risk is greatest, and where they can get a fast, robust return on their security compliance investments.”
Recent research by The Ponemon Institute, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, and the Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA) shows that the majority of threats to a company’s IT infrastructure and confidential information originate from inside the organization, rather than external sources like hackers. Organizations are much more likely to experience security breaches initiated by employees, either through malicious activity or simple user errors. And the risk of data breaches from external sources increase significantly for off-network equipment like laptops because they lose the protection of network perimeter defenses.
