SoftXpand ecoware is a multiple award winning product that allows a single personal computer or PC to run up to 6 independent workstations. Each user can surf the web, run their usual  software programmes, or enjoy all of the freedom and versatility of a stand-alone computer at a fraction of the normal cost.

In addition to the lower purchase and set up cost SoftXpand ecoware manages the power and utilisation of the system hardware to offer users much lower running costs and significant reductions in the amount of greenhouse gases generated.

Tests have shown that SoftXpand ecoware consumes 84% less power than an equivalent stand-alone personal computer based system. Because of this it also reduces the C02 output by a similar amount.

But that's not all. Our users in schools, in industry and commerce, and in many busy offices also demand high computing speed and the ability to run simultaneous rich media such as High Definition video or complex graphic learning systems. SoftXpand ecoware offers economy and the fast operating speed of a conventional personal computer or laptop.

SoftXpand ecoware is widely used throughout the world and our website has links to seperate SoftXpand mini-sites covering applications in education, business & contact centres. We hope you enjoy browsing the site.If you are searching for a high speed computing system for your organisation or wish to supplement an existing system to add any of the following features; 

LOW COST  | HIGH EFFICIENCY  | LOW CARBON OUTPUT  | HIGH RELIABILITY

Saving you money

80-90% Saving on Disposal Cost

Because SoftXpand ecoware uses less hardware to achieve between six and eight independent work stations the disposal costs at end of life are reduced considerably. In comparison with a stand alone personal computer based solution this has a huge benefit . With the amount of E-Waste rising each year and the disposal costs increasing SoftXpand ecoware can save around 80% of the disposal cost of a system at the end of its lifecycle. Our experience has shown that as the majority of end users will retain their existing TFT screens and upgrade the main console the benefit in comparative weight (Kg's) of E-Waste could be as high as 90%.

84% Reduction in Energy Cost

The way SoftXpand ecoware manages power usage to the central processing & graphical processing units reduces electrical consumption by over 84%. Reduced hardware and improved utilisation of the inbuilt processing units also makes the system operate more effectively during operation. With energy costs set to rise over the coming years this offers a significant benefit directly onto the bottom-line. 

70% Reduction in Ownership Cost

In addition to the initial cost saving upon purchase SoftXpand ecoware has a lower maintenance, servicing, running and cental licensing cost than a comparable stand-alone personal computer based system. Maintenance costs are lower as the amount of hardware required is much less. Servicing costs are also reduced for this reason.

60% Saving on Purchase

On like for like comparisons a complete SoftXpand ecoware system is typically only around 40% of the cost of a stand-alone personal computer or local area network (LAN) system. This significant reduction in the purchase cost allows progressive organisations to "GO GREEN" within budget and achieve typical payback periods of under 12 Months

Helping the Planet

Learn More about GREEN ICT

At Greenfrog we specialise in GREEN ICT and have a large database of knowledge concerning our product range, SoftXpand ecoware, and in general. If you are interested in learning more about the benefit to the planet that a SoftXpand ecoware system can have within your organisation or wish to experience the useability and reduced power consumption for yourself then please contact one of our technical team for further information and support. If you are a research student or consultant practicing in environmental management, and in particular GREEN ICT, please give our team a call and we will gladly help with data and advice.

84% Reduction in C02 Output

The second way that SoftXpand ecoware helps the planet is during use. As the SoftXpand ecoware system consumes only around 16% of the power of a comparable stand-alone system the amount of greenhouse gasses produced via the energy used are reduced by 84%.With growing concerns over C02 discharge, and the increased likelihood of carbon taxation in the immediate future you can start to do your bit straight away by either supplementing your existing systems with SoftXpand ecoware equipped personal computers, or replacing existing systems with a complete SoftXpand ecoware system.

70% Reduction in Embodied C02

SoftXpand ecoware helps the planet in two ways. Firstly as SoftXpand ecoware only requires a single personal computer to provide between six and eight independent workstations the amount of greenhouses gasses generated during the personal computer manufacturing process is reduced. You do not need to buy eight personal computers, only a single unit. Recent studies in this area show that manufacturing a personal computer consumes up to 260 Kilograms of Fossil Fuel or about 11 times the weight of the finished unit.

Global ICT Loading

Recent reports have shown that the advances in technology over recent years have helped to bring learning to many people and have done much to improve our society. Unfortunately this rapid growth has also led to increased energy consumption and greenhouse gas generation.Expert reports indicate that our thirst for technology has led to computing power accounting for between 2-3% of global power consumption. Of course this also means that the output of greenhouse gasses  associated with computing power have also grown to the point where global output puts computing on a par with the airline industry.
