Alpiron is a software company makes products for green IT. It focuses on intelligent products for saving power in IT-installations.

Alpiron Suite
Alpiron's main product called Alpiron Suite enables power saving in IT-installations by turning off machines when they are not needed and turning them back on when they are needed. This applied both to workstations, physical servers and virtual servers.

Alpiron Suite also includes monitoring/alarms and fail-safe functionality which is especially interesting in high availability environments. They claim that customers will start saving power from day one

Controlling Servers
Alpiron Suite will continuously measure the load on a server-farm and will match the number of running servers to the load required at the current point in time. Flexible policies can be set for each user-defined group of servers, such that a certain excess amount of computing power is always available to deal with sudden increased load on the farm.

Controlling Workstations
In addition to controlling an organizations servers, it is often a good idea to make sure that workstations are turned off when workers go home. Alpiron Suite can easily be set so that, for instance, after 4 P.M any workstations which have not been used for 2 hours will be turned off.

It can also turn on workstations so they are ready to be used when workers come to work in the morning.

Company Structure
The Alpiron headquarter is located in Denmark, but it has offices in Israel and USA as well. It is privately financed.
