BONUS INCENTIVES: Receiving the Energy Star Label

Resellers who join the Energy Star Program’s online listings for ES 4.0 or 5.0 compliancy, will receive 3000 AOpen Points!

For premium resellers wishing to qualify for the Energy Star Label and begin offering green IT solutions to home consumers and/or negotiate contracts within the public sector and LEED-certified commercial spaces, AOpen can facilitate resellers’ green IT campaigns by helping them assemble Energy Star Ready Configurations.

Turnkey Green IT Solutions

Energy Star Ready Configurations consist of modular components that have been rigorously tested for Energy Star 4.0 Ready compliancy. All that is barring these configurations from attaining the Energy Star Label are 1) the reseller’s choice of OS 2) the reseller’s completion of the official Energy Star 4.0 Registration and Testing processes.

Choice of Operating System

Is there a difference between integrating Windows Vista™ vs. Linux/Unix vs. Other OS? The Energy Star 4.0 and 5.0 Programs have adopted stricter guidelines for qualification than earlier versions of Energy Star due to greater considerations for the power usage patterns dictated by operating systems during various modes of operation.

AOpen is glad to provide its premium resellers with pertinent test results concerning the components in AOpen’s own Energy Star Ready Configurations. The online availability of such test documentation can greatly expedite Energy Star Certification by helping AOpen resellers self-declare Energy Star compliancy – and then submit their products for official certification by Energy Star.
