Power Auditor
- Baseline of energy consumption begins
by collecting power usage across the
network before assigning power policies
- Baseline of power
savings is now
established by
understanding
power usage on the
network after a
week of normal use.
- Analyze achieved savings by
comparing savings before and
after power policies were
implemented
- View monthly executive report
to view achieved savings
across the network
Management Utilities
- Deploy System Clients to each machine
on the network
- Deploy third party software and patches
as needed across the network to keep
systems up to date.
- Now that the
baseline is
established, create
power policy
templates and apply
them to groups of
systems
- Set power policies, deploy System Clients and third party
software as new systems are added to the network.
- Power settings to groups of systems can always be fine-tuned
to help you maximize power savings.
System Area Manager(s)
- System Clients start reporting to System Area Manager to enable the following management functions:
- Configure system monitoring and alerting.
- View a variety of reports including software utilization across the network.
- Remote into a system at any time to take over KVM for remote resolution.
- Fine tune power management settings on individual machines.
Site Manager
- Centralized Helpdesk and Ticketing.
- Gain remote access into any system on the network.
- Import all non networked assets such as telephones, printers, etc.
- Configure users and groups and other administrations settings
Asset Auditor
- Have all IT staff members download the free SyAM Asset Auditor App.
- Utilize Asset Auditor to edit the Site Manager Asset Database as new assets are purchased or need to be updated
9. Asset Management
• By knowing what you have, where its located, how its configured,
and utilized, you can make more calculated financial decisions
about what will be needed in the upcoming system refresh cycle,
including hardware upgrades, application license renewal, or
maintenance contracts.
• SyAM dynamically detects computer assets down to hardware serial
numbers or application versions. SyAM also enables non computer
assets to be fully managed within the same system, and reported
upon centrally.
9
10. Asset Management
• Assets can managed across
various key attributes;
– Location / Function / Owner
– Classification / Department
– And many other categories.
• In addition to configuration assets
can track financial and service
information;

– Service Code / Contact
– Open/Closed Tickets
• With Computer Assets you can
drill down to the system details of
hardware, software configuration
10
11. Asset Auditor Mobile App

QR codes. This will save you time by eliminating the pain of manually entering long asset
names or serial numbers.
• Full Administrator Control
– Anyone with access to the network can use Asset Auditor Have the peace of mind that all
changes made must be approved by an administrator before the Site Manager Asset
Management database is updated.
• Log a Photo of the Asset
– Use the camera on your mobile device to provide a picture of the asset to make it easier to
identify in the future.
• GPS Locations
– When auditing assets you can record the GPS coordinates. From Site Manager, you can
view the location in Google Maps. If the location of the asset ever changes you can always
update it.
• Available in the App Store and Google Play

temperatures, and utilization levels. This information makes it
possible for you to make accurate decisions to truly improve server
room efficiencies.
• SyAM’s Data Center Management intelligent policies allow you to
reduce server power consumption by reducing operating
temperatures at non critical operational times. By controlling
temperatures you not only reduce server energy costs, but also data
center cooling systems that won’t need to be powered up as
frequently.
