Information Technology (IT) organizations sometimes prefer to perform tasks
such as installing software, running virus scans, and backing up disk drives during
nonbusiness hours to avoid interrupting users during prime usage times.
Although organizations may use remote software installation tools or other
automated software, IT personnel may have to turn on each workstation for the
software to run. This use of IT resources is inefficient and expensive.
The remote wake-up feature gives IT personnel the ability to turn workstations on
remotely. You can use the wake-up capability to turn remote machines on
automatically, thus further decreasing IT personnel tasks. Workstations that have
been turned on can be directed to run virus scans or software upgrades and then to
return to a turned off mode. This combination of remote access and automatic
wake-up feature saves IT personnel time and increases user productivity by
avoiding delays and disruptions during work hours.
