Deployment Scenarios
Power Manager may be used in a variety of situations. The following examples are designed to illustrate some typical deployment scenarios:

Typical Scenario |
After Deployment |
Workplace
User dedicated PC
|
Majority of users leave systems on to avoid start-up delay and preserve work or allow remote access
|
Sleep / hibernate systems when not in use. This preserves system state ready for later access. Schedule wake for start of working day. Configure system for remote wake if remote access required
|
|
|
Hot desk office
Non-dedicated PC
|
Users frequently change and therefore data preservation for extended periods is not required. No requirement for remote access
|
Log out / shutdown systems not in use. Use log out / hibernate to minimize delay at start-up. If appropriate use scheduled wake / shutdown to match user usage pattern
|
|
|
Public access area
Multiple regular users
|
Users frequently change and may not have unique logons. Therefore data preservation is not required. It is not desirable for users to shutdown system. Majority of systems left permanently powered on.
|
Configure default power settings to sleep system after a few minutes of inactivity. User pressing any key (or even moving mouse) will wake system within a second. If appropriate use scheduled wake to ensure system available during opening hours
