Not the ‘comparing’ kind but a green computer security kind. Typically, PCs are switched on for much longer than they are needed – when employees go to meetings, go to lunch, etc. MeerCat is a simple device that recognises when the PC user is no longer in the vicinity and puts the computer into security mode (so no-one else can access confidential data) and also puts the computer into energy saving mode (so it saves on energy bills and CO2 emissions).
Users can see at a glance how much energy and CO2 they are saving when they use the MeerCat – so the benefits are very easily trackable. Click MeerCat from 24/7 Uptime to find out more.

According to the Environmental Audit Committee, the Government’s use of IT systems is one of the main reasons given for the failure to meet its own targets for reducing carbon emissions. Electricity use is increasing, largely due to the number of Government computers, printers, laptops et al. (more…)
