SyAM Rollout TimelineProduct Day 1 Day 8 Day 15 Day 30

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

ASSET MANAGEMENTMAKE MORE CALCULATED FINANCIAL DECISIONS

8

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

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;

– Purchase Date / Vendor– 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

• Audit IT Asset Information on the Go– Add new assets and edit existing fields on the go. Verify assets are in the right location and being

used by the right staff members

• Utilize Barcodes and QR Codes– Pull up asset information by utilizing a Barcode or QR code (supports Code 128, ISBN and 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

DATA CENTER MANAGEMENTUNDERSTAND THE REAL TIME STATUS OF YOUR SERVER

16

Data Center Management

• With today’s powerful enterprise servers, data centers continue to heat up and require more power for the cooling of servers. SyAM gives you control through a single interface to fully understand the real-time status of the server room, from power consumption to 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.

17

Data Center Management

• Server Policy summary shows IT instantly what policies are programed to the server and which ones are currently active

• IT are in control and define the servers power policies

- Policies can be based on hardware sensor triggers

- Policies can be enforced for wattage limitations

- Policies can be enforce on user defined days and times of the week
