How is Alpiron different from Citrix PowerSmart Utility?
Citrix recently (Dec. 20 2007) released a tool for saving power in Citrix-farms. While Alpiron welcomes this new player to the market, we believe it is important to highlight the most significant differences between Citrix PowerSmart Utility and our product Alpiron Suite.
