Dell has reinforced its commitment to energy efficiency by announcing the company’s broadest line of US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Energy Star 5.0 compliant desktops, workstations and portables. The company has also unveiled its Client Energy Savings Calculator, which allows customers to assess and optimise the power consumption and the potential energy savings of their client infrastructures.
Select configurations of Dell OptiPlex, Dell Precision, and Latitude commercial client product lines offer customers a wide variety of Energy Star 5.0 compliant systems to help save money and reduce CO2 emissions. As per company claims, almost all of the desktop, workstation and portable products designed by Dell today consume less than 5 watts in a low-power mode exceeding current levels set by the EPA for energy efficiency.
Systems include:
Dell Latitude 2100, E4200, E4300, E5400, E5500, E6400, E6400 ATG, XT2 and E6400 XFR; Dell Precision M2400, M4400, T3500, T5500, T7500, R5400; and Dell OptiPlex 760, 960, 360, 160 and FX160.
Dell is also helping customers reduce energy costs through flexible computing, an alternative computing model, where data or computing power are centrally stored and access to data is available from multiple client devices. It aims to address the needs of both end users and IT by using client-server (network based) computing and virtualisation technologies to improve manageability, data security, compliance and disaster recovery.
Dell’s new Client Energy Savings Calculator enables businesses to calculate the power consumption and energy savings available to their organisations using Dell OptiPlex, Vostro and Latitude systems. The online tool analyses configuration options including power supplies, processors, disk drives and storage, memory, graphic adapters and power management. This energy calculator enables users to analyse power consumption in different countries and regions.
