Benefiting the
Environment
To go forward in todays
markets a company must
take a positive and
proactive approach
This company
intends to lead the
way in becoming
self sustainable
The Way There
 Energy
efficiency and network stability is one step
to self sustainability
 This involves the deployment of new process and
equipment
 Producing our own electricity and becoming self
sustaining in our power requirements
The Plan


Centralise the network with a thin client,
server based architecture
New printing processes and the procurement
of a better suited business printer
Server upgrade. This enables a better
management option for the network as well
as offering security for the users and data
Power efficient and monitoring devices to be
installed to minimise power usage
The New Network
The Server – Manages the network and has all the required business software
installed on it. It also securely stores all the users data.
The Thin Clients – These are the workstations for each user. They access the
server which hosts a session for the user to use from their terminal.
Each current workstation over time be replaced with much
more energy efficient device.
Power Management – There will be devices attached to the network that
will not require a conventional power source. As the new low
powered Thin Clients are deployed their power will be supplied
from the same cable that connects them to the network.
Power Control – A timing device will automatically restrict power going to
the workstations after hours and restore it before the business
starts the next morning to minimalize power usage.
Printing – A new printer will be introduced to the network allowing access
from all workstations simultaneously.
