10 Ways to go Green on your PC
green
Let's face it, hybrid cars, solar panels and wind farms are invading! The trend of going green is catching up to all of us whether we like it or not and we see it virtually everywhere. If you're looking to save on your energy bill or want to do your part by conserving, this article has 10 tips that can help lower power consumption and reduce paper dependency with your desktop PC.
1.) Upgrade your computer's hard drive to a green drive
While more and more OEM computer parts manufacturers are upping the ante on
computer power supply wattage and more stream processors on video cards, some companies like Seagate are taking a step backwards and creating hard drives that eat up less power. The idea behind a green hard drive is that its spindle speed is less, like 5900 rpm, but is engineered to perform virtually on par with its faster 7200 rpm siblings.
2.) Switch to an Eco-Friendly Power Supply
How did we not see this one coming? A computer's power supply unit is the most important power-related component. That being said, companies like Antec have been releasing environmentally-friendly power supplies such as Antec's Earthwatts 650W-series. The idea here is that yes, it still puts out 650 watts. However, it provides continuous, quiet, reliable and stable power and all the energy needed to power the PSU's fan, circuits and other components are reduced. According to Antec, their Earthwatts 650w model is 80 PLUS compliant which means it eats up 33% less energy than an equivalent power supply with zero reduction in performance.

Managed Service Providers Help You With Network Monitoring

tnmMany small businesses rely on the networks within their organization. Can you imagine your business without the network which connects you to each of your team? Network monitoring is necessary for ensuring your network remains operational and functioning as it should in order for your business to carry out it's daily activities.

What is Network Monitoring?

Network monitoring is a process which alerts business owners and key people to any problems that might occur over the network. It can also be used to keep track of supplies for printers, how much hard drive space is remaining and notify you when you're running out of space, as well as software installations or uninstalls.

Network monitoring solutions can alert you when changes to the network require action, and assist you with the actions to ensure the problem is resolved quickly. Most problems with networks can be handled pro-actively, which means there is no need for the network to go "down", or become unusable when the network is being monitored effectively.

You can also use quality network monitoring services to know when your software licenses are going to expire or contracts need renewing, as well as when to update various software programs with bug fixes to ensure everything is up to date and running as it should. Your antivirus software depends on your network to operate effectively.

Business Phone Systems: Designed to Help You Grow

phone

 A Business Phone system is essential for any professional organization. But an office phone system that runs on your Internet Protocol (IP) network can give your business much more than phone connectivity. Here are a few of the benefits that an advanced, VoIP (Voice over IP) based Business Phone System can provide your business:

  • Savings - Businesses who switch to a VoIP business phone system can expect savings of between 30 and 50 percent off of their traditional phone bill, sometimes more!
  • Features - While the traditional phone companies charge for features like call waiting and caller ID, many VoIP service providers offer these as standard with their packages. Call forwarding, call blocking and voicemail are also offered as standard features by many VoIP service providers.
  • Access - Employees can stay productive from any location, because your office phone system travels with them, accessible via any internet connection.
