I live in St. George, UT and work from home for a company out of Colorado, so I have to have my computer available and running at all times. Computer Connection, who I’ve been going to now for a little over four years, has been awesome with keeping me up and running. Whenever I or my husband have any problems with our computers, I take it to them and I usually have it back within a few hours or they take the time right then to see if it’s a quick fix. Their charges are very reasonable! These guys are very friendly and very helpful when we need them. I’ve recommended them on several occasions.
These guys were so very helpful, so honest, and so kind when getting my laptop back up and running. They were able to complete this service within 24 hours. Don’t hesitate to give them a try. You will not be disappointed!
I have worked with a few different IT businesses and individuals over the years, but The Computer Connection is by far the best I’ve found. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and quick to respond. I have never had an issue that they couldn’t troubleshoot, they are the best.
We’ve worked with The Computer Connection for many years and they have been awesome to work with. We call them all the time to help us figure out our computer issues. We recommend them to everyone!
Friendly, affordable care that addressed all of my questions and concerns. Patient and spoke to me in words I could understand because this stuff goes over my millennial head. As a new business owner managing everything from my little laptop, Jake set me up with something called Huntress that will help secure my computer from bad people trying to take advantage of people like me that don’t know how to protect their stuff. I’ll be using these guys for any IT help in the future for my business and personal assets.
The Computer Connection are extremely professional and knowledgeable. I utilize their monthly service plan that I have benefited from and it provides me with a piece of mind knowing that if anything happens or I get a virus, they are there to clean it up. I highly recommend that everyone check into their services!
When working with The Computer Connection, we are constantly impressed by the knowledge of their team members. We have yet to find an issue that they have not been able to solve and we have been working with them for over 7 years. If you are tired of the way that your IT company treats you, The Computer Connection does not have the attitude that we are just another customer… but their sole priority. If you want to make your life SO MUCH easier, trust The Computer Connection with all your IT needs!
I had spent hours and hours online with HP Support trying to get my new HP Printer interfaced with my Laptop and seriously it was a terrible experience. I brought my laptop and printer into Jake and he had it up and running in 10 minutes. He even went so far as to install the best malware program for me and anytime I ever have technical issues I absolutely know where to go from now on! Thank you Jake!
I’ve had a couple of situations that were not exactly what Computer Connection was set up to do, in both cases they went out of their normal range of services and solved my problems. One of the times they came to my home to make the fix. The services were completed promptly, efficiently and fees were reasonable. I’m glad to know they’re there and give them a strong recommendation.
I have been working with Craig and the team from Computer Connection for almost seven years and I am so pleased with their work and knowledge! They provide excellent service and genuinely care for those they serve! They respond quickly to issues when there are any and help to get them resolved timely. They have also provided great security monitoring of our computers! Craig and his team are just wonderful!! I would definitely recommend them to anyone! Thanks Computer Connection!

Practical Power Management for Business IT
Efficient infrastructure planning
A power baseline shows where energy is being used before recommendations are made. The Computer Connection reviews servers, network equipment, workstations, storage, and current settings to identify waste that may not be visible on a utility bill.
The outcome is a documented starting point for safer decisions. You get practical next steps, not guesswork, with attention to uptime, security, user needs, and long-term infrastructure health.
Servers need dependable uptime, but that does not mean every system should run at full demand around the clock. Server power management reviews workload, hardware age, virtualization, backup windows, and critical application needs before any change is made.
This helps reduce unnecessary consumption while protecting business operations. Recommendations may include scheduling, consolidation planning, hardware replacement timing, or configuration updates that lower strain without creating avoidable risk.
Workstations are often one of the easiest places to reduce wasted energy. Many computers remain fully powered after hours, on weekends, or during long idle periods because no clear policy is in place.
The Computer Connection helps set practical sleep, restart, and update schedules that fit how your team works. The goal is to lower waste while keeping devices patched, accessible when needed, and ready for productive work during business hours.
Switches, firewalls, wireless equipment, and other network devices can quietly add to energy use, especially when aging hardware stays in place too long. A power management review looks at equipment age, utilization, heat output, and replacement priorities.
When upgrades make sense, recommendations are made with stability and manageability in mind. The result is a network plan that supports performance, security, and lower overhead instead of waiting for outdated gear to fail.
Unmanaged data growth increases storage demand, backup time, and power consumption. Storage power management begins with understanding what data exists, what must be retained, and where unnecessary duplication or outdated files may be creating avoidable load.
The Computer Connection helps connect storage planning with backup and recovery needs, so efficiency does not come at the expense of protection. You get clearer organization, better planning, and less waste across the environment.
Energy efficiency only lasts when it is monitored and reviewed. Power settings can drift, new devices can be added without a plan, and business needs can change as the company grows.
Regular reviews help keep improvements on track. The Computer Connection uses a proactive management approach to document changes, revisit priorities, and help you make measurable improvements over time while keeping IT simple, secure, and stress-free.
Measured IT Improvements Start With a Clear Baseline
Lower IT Energy Waste Without Disrupting Work
IT equipment can waste power quietly for years. Servers run harder than needed, workstations stay awake overnight, storage grows without cleanup, and network equipment keeps drawing power even when the business is closed. The result is higher utility cost, extra heat, and more strain on hardware.
IT and Server Power Management starts with a practical technology audit. The Computer Connection documents what is running, how it is configured, where energy is being used, and which changes can be made safely. The goal is not to disrupt productivity. It is to reduce waste, improve stability, and give you a clearer plan for running technology with less overhead.
A Practical Plan for Efficient IT Infrastructure
Power management works best when it is handled as part of proactive IT management, not as a one-time settings change. Your systems need the right balance of uptime, performance, security, and efficiency.
- Server power settings reviewed for workload and reliability
- Workstation sleep and shutdown policies aligned to daily use
- Network equipment reviewed for age, load, and efficiency
- Data storage cleanup and planning to reduce unnecessary growth
- Regular reviews to confirm improvements and avoid new waste
With over two decades of infrastructure management experience, The Computer Connection helps small and mid-sized businesses make practical improvements that support stability, security, and lower operating cost.
Reduce Cost, Heat, and Hardware Strain
Good power management is not just about saving electricity. Lower energy use can also reduce heat load, ease stress on hardware, and help equipment last longer. For businesses with server closets, workstations, storage, and networking gear, those small improvements can add up across the whole environment.
The Computer Connection approaches these changes carefully. Settings are documented, business needs are considered, and critical systems are not treated the same as ordinary desktop computers. You get clear and respectful communication, regular reviews, and recommendations that fit your actual environment. The result is a more efficient IT footprint with fewer surprises and better long-term planning.
