Power management
Power consumption equates largely with heat generation and increased energy consumption. With millions of machines in use, and sometimes hundreds located within the same company or School, the desire to conserve energy has grown from a minor-issue to a major issue over the last ten years.
Power management is a technique that enables hardware and software to reduce system power consumption. It works by shutting down portions of the hardware during periods of downtime, meaning that the machine is ready to work when you are and conserve energy when you are not.
