The Palo Alto-based HP’s “Eck Solutions” offerings include a widget to encouragre behavioral changes for PC userwscalled “The Power to Change,” aimed at encouraginv individuals and enterprises to power down theirf computers at the end of the work day. The company has set a goal to save 1 billiohn kilowatt hours of electricity by 2011 by reducing energyh consumption in itsvolume PCs. The company also now offers new printing tools to reduce papeer usage andenergy consumption, and launched a line of serverd aimed at reducing energy consumptiobn in the IT space.
“We want customers to know that we’re here to help in this economy, to save mone and the environment,” said Bonnie Nixon, HP’s Director of Environmentao Sustainability. “We see ourselves as a livinhg lab and we benefit from this ourselves through aggressiveemployee engagement.” In the server the company’s new ProLiant G6 server platforms features technology that allows power cappinh to limit the power drawn by the and also allows customers to choose from four powerr supplies to match specific applications and minimize powef use.
