Hewlett-Packard energy-efficient systems

Hewlett-Packard has announced a number of products to assist businesses to manage power costs, including the Compaq 8100 Elite Desktop PC series that features 89% energy-efficient power supplies, supports energy-saving technologies such as solid state drives (SSDs) and offers the company’s power-management solutions.

The company’s Power Assistant enables the real-time visibility and control needed to conserve energy use by desktops as well as increasing the notebook’s battery life. On the network level, it delivers an integrated solution that measures, logs and reports platform energy use, giving IT the information needed to save money and energy.

The company’s long-life battery provides up to a three-year life span - up to double the life of most Li-Ion notebook batteries. This technology reduces overall battery waste by requiring fewer batteries to be used over the life of the notebook.
