Green IT

Global regulations are developing to encourage organisations and government agencies to start focusing on green computing in an effort to recognise and award energy efficiency and environmentally sustainable IT systems.

Green initiatives do not only benefit the environment but are also significantly reducing an organisation's operational costs. PortWise can help organisations making their IT systems and processes "greener" by enabling:

• Server virtualisation - Deploy the PortWise server within your virtualisation infrastructure to optimize hardware utilisation and reduce power consumption in the data center.
• Secure remote access to applications and data - Reduce emissions by allowing employees to work from their homes instead of driving to work.
• Thin client technology - PortWise Java client technology enables an organisation to widely deploy thin clients instead of energy consuming Windows-based PCs.
• PortWise soft tokens - Reuse existing hardware (Mobile phones, PDAs and PCs) instead of purchasing and distributing special-purpose hardware for one-time-password authentication.
• E-services - PortWise provides a complete framework for secure e-service deployment, including user authentication, role-based access and digital signing, to fully automate traditional manual processes.
