Case Study: ADT Fire & Security cuts IT energy costs with Faronics Power Save

Faronics Power Save and ADT Fire & Security Energy Management Software Helps Security Company Lower IT Energy Costs

ADT Fire and Security, a major security and alarm monitoring company, faced a significant challenge in reducing energy consumption across its IT infrastructure of 3,000 desktops and laptops. Their previous user-dependent power management plan was ineffective, as employees often left computers running due to lengthy startup times or simple neglect. To support their new environmental initiative, Project Greenfoot, they sought a non-disruptive, centralized solution from a vendor like Faronics.

ADT implemented Faronics Power Save, an energy management software that provided centralized control to automatically power down idle computers without disrupting users or IT processes. The results were immediate and quantifiable; within five months of full deployment, ADT UK saved over 181,000 kWh of electricity. Faronics' solution delivered a rapid return on investment, enabling ADT to meet its environmental goals and leading to a planned rollout across the entire EMEA region.
