Wisdom PowerSaver/ROI Calculator

Icon, calculatorA new calculator has been posted. This one will help you determine how much power and thereby money you can save by utilizing RES Wisdom to turn off/servers in your environment. This subject was adressed in an article by Edgar over at the RESinside blog. The PowerSaver calculator builds on that article. On top of that, a ROI calculator has been thrown in for good measure. This will enable you to, just based on the simplest of Wisdom’s features, find out how long before Wisdom has paid for itself.
