Lights-Out is a management solution which helps you saving energy, managing your backups, your computers and your network.
Lights-Out is based on several building blocks:
- A service which is installed on a Windows Server (in our picture the green SampleServer) or a desktop system used as server. This is the core component. The management console and the client software connect to that service.
- A management console which is installed on the server and on any Windows system used to manage Lights-Out.
- A client software installed on Microsoft Windows, Apple Macintosh or Linux computers (the blue computers in the picture).
- An optional mobile app for smart phones or tablets. These devices may operate inside your network (LAN) or outside over the internet (WAN).
Lights-Out is software which pays for itself.
You can see exactly how much money you saved.
You can see how much carbon you saved.
You can see the off/on ratio of your server.
100% = server is always off
0% = server is always on
100% = server is always off
0% = server is always on
How do get there?
Run your server and your computers on demand!
Active sources

Selected sources
Lights-Out monitors selected sources for activity.
As long as one or more sources signal activity, the server is kept running. If monitoring detects no more activity, the server is disabled.
The “last one turns off the light” = Lights-Out
This saves energy and money and reduces your carbon footprint!
