How scalable is the PowerMAN solution?
PowerMAN is very lightweight and scales very well. The client software (power policy implementation) is configured using standard registry based settings or Windows Group Policy. This does not normally require any additional server resources and will scale to the largest Windows based networks with ease. The PowerMAN reporting (server) software is only used for reporting and can handle > 50,000 computers on a single server. PowerMAN has minimal bandwidth requirements. Typically, less than 500 bytes of network traffic is generated per client PC per day and around 1MB of data is logged per PC per year.
