What Is Go Green And Why Go Green
Green is one of the words we started hearing during the past few decade. By now, we have many green things including green waste management systems, green technologies, green energy, and the list goes on. There is so much media hype about going green and you may have been wondering what Green means. In case if you have been wondering for too long, this introduction is for you.
Since humans started polluting (We are sorry, but there is no other word describing what we humans have done to the planet we live in!) the Mother Nature, the ecosystem started showing changes that affected all life forms. Although this process initiated from the beginning of the past century, the visible results were only encountered just a few decades ago.
Since the short-term solutions did not have any effective solution to save the environment, the world had to have a proper plan for saving the planet. Starting off with a handful of volunteers, by far, ‘Go Green campaigns’ have become one of the most powerful initiatives for saving the planet. Even governments have joined hands with ‘greenies’ by sponsoring and investing on green initiatives.
Please note that going Green is not hype; it is a necessity.
Going Green With Sleep Moon Xpress
Sleep Moon Xpress is our commitment for Go Green. We have has put extensive effort on developing Sleep Moon Xpress to make most computers on the planet, go green.
First of all, let’s explore the ways that computers can Go4Green.
Computers are terrible machines to waste. If the computers are wasted, there are many other things that get wasted along the way. Electricity is one of the main concerns. If your electricity source is not green, the more you waste electricity, the more harm you cause to nature. Therefore, saving electricity means going green. Once computers become functionless, they are required to be discarded with no harm to the environment. This does not happen effectively at the moment as some steps in the process are beyond our direct control.
Let’s look at what Sleep Moon Xpress offers to minimize the electricity usage:
We usually find our computers running even when they are not utilized. As an example, you might decide to have a ten minutes break while working at home, but suddenly you fall asleep for a few hours. Although you are fast asleep, your computer is not. It is wasting its processing power for almost nothing.
A computer consists of a few dozens of components that consumes a lot of electricity. The hard disk drive and the monitor are two devices that consume most amount of electricity of a computer system. Apart from that, almost all other devices consume a considerable amount of electricity although they appear tiny in their size.
The conditions become worst if you are an owner of an old computer. Since the technology was not that smart in the good old days, the electronic designs were not efficient as they are now. In addition to that, the electronic components such as transistors, capacitors, etc. were not designed to save electricity. Rather, they were designed for getting the job done. Therefore, if you are an owner of an old computer, your electricity consumption could be higher compared to the latest computers.
Since ‘more electricity = more damage to nature’, reducing your electricity waste has a direct impact on saving the nature.
Due to all facts described above, shutting your computer down when it is not used for an extended period is a definite way of contributing to the going green initiative. There are three main features you can use in Sleep Moon Xpress to reduce electricity wastage.
The Main Methods Of Saving Power In Computers
Automatic Shutdown
If the computer is not used for more than one hour, then it is ideal to shutdown. The users can setup a timer, so the computer will shutdown when there is no activity for a specified duration.
Automatic Standby
Sometime we go away from the computer for shorter periods of time for e.g. to answer a telephone call. Since we may comeback in a few minutes, we think it is an extra hassle to shutdown or hibernate the computer as we cannot resume work within a few seconds. In such scenarios, Automatic Standby feature can be used to temporary suspends your computer in order to send it to a low power consumption state. This way, users can maintain the productivity level while saving electricity.
Automatic Hibernation
When a user is going away for extended time period, with the hope of returning back to work, he can simply hibernate the computer. Once the user returns, the computer will boot to the last state where the hibernation took place. This way, your work will remain intact and you can continue your work from where you stopped.
Now there is confusion in your mind! When Windows gives you all these features, why use Sleep Moon Xpress for the same thing?
Ok. This is the most interesting part of this article.
In Windows, you are given only one option to schedule shutdown, standby, and hibernation. You can simply define duration and if the computer is inactive for the said duration, the computer will automatically go in to one of the three power saving states.
Sleep Moon Xpress’s Unique Features For Saving Power
We at Reohix have thought about this in a smarter way and offer the following features to trigger automatic shutdown, automatic standby, and automatic hibernation.
Date And Time
Sleep Moon Xpress users can schedule the power saving actions for a specific time of the day. This becomes a useful feature when certain computers are not utilized for specific time periods. As an example, if a certain server is supposed to be switched off during the weekend, it could be automated using Sleep Moon Xpress.
Download / Upload Bandwidth
At times, users download or upload software (and sometimes songs and movies!) of several gigabytes and they keep the computer running overnight to make sure the download gets completed properly. Although download may complete hours before the person switches off the computer, there is no way to make sure that the computer shuts down once the download or upload is over. In order to avoid wasting energy this way, Sleep Moon Xpress can be configured to monitor upload / download bandwidth consumption.
As an example, if the download rate is about 100kbps when downloading a particular software, you can setup Sleep Moon Xpress to shutdown the computer when the downloading rate decreases beyond 5kbps. Obviously, the download rate will become 5kbps only when the download process is completed. This way you avoid chances of the computer shutting down before a download/upload is complete and avoid chances of wasting energy after a download/upload is complete.
Via Your Mobile Phone
This allows users to take power saving actions via mobile phones. Whenever you want to shutdown a running computer, it is just a matter of sending the relevant command through your mobile phone to your computer. Sleep Moon Xpress uses WTP Mobile Technology and BlueActiv Technology for receiving power saving instructions through the mobile phone.
The Benefits Of Saving Power
First of all, saving power helps to protect energy sources and eventually the nature. In addition to that, there are multiple advantages of saving power for each individual.
A reduced electricity bill is one of the main advantages that can be felt short-term. Properly configured Sleep Moon Xpress can reduce your electricity bill significantly, giving you a cost advantage.
When the computer is not switched on at the times it is not supposed to be, it generates less heat. Heat generated by the computer components is one of the main factors that reduce the lifetime of a computer. By making sure that the computer is switched on only when it is necessary, users can enjoy an enhanced lifespan of the computer.
What Are We Trying To Say?
Going green is an absolute necessity at the time. We have done enough damage to the planet we inhabit and now is the time to say ‘enough is enough!’
Although many organizations and governments have involved in going green, the majority of the important work can only be done by individuals. If individuals have no commitment, then the initiative cannot produce any positive results.
We at Reohix are committed to the Go4Green campaign and we are determined to get individual contribution for the same. Our belief is that only individuals (who join hands with a cause to come together as one) can change this world!
Sleep Moon Xpress is our contribution to the world, which is trying to defend itself from the human-made pollution. This software helps each individual computer user to manage power consumption, so it will eventually account to saving the environment.
In addition to that, Sleep Moon Xpress reduces your electricity bill while enhancing the lifespan of your computer.
So, join hands with the Go4Green Campaign and Reohix for saving the planet. Start using Sleep Moon Xpress from today and make a difference in the world you live in!
