City of Miami: Challenges Overcome
city_of_miami_logo_rdax_108x108
Challenges:
Search for native solutions and make a lot of tests.
Take the time to consider this as an ITD project (approx 120 hours to research and implement the solution)
Search and organize information on what to accomplish without investing a lot of resources
Get familiar with wake-up options and VPRO technology.
Notify users on the Go-Green initiative and the effect of the sleeping mode.
Know the numbers (power usage on multiple states and level of savings)
Test all PC models on sleeping and wake-up actions.
Ensure wake-up works by touching the mouse, the keyboard or the bower button and remotely from SMS, WSUS, RDP and VPN. Use scripts for manual remote wake-up.
Move personal data to a central location to avoid backup of local data since the central backup solution is not able to wake-up the PC when needed.
Manually update the BIOS for some PCs with the wake-up option off to turn it on.
