Altiris, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATRS), a pioneer of service-oriented management software, today announced that Altiris® Software Virtualization Solution™ (SVS) has won Best New Product honors at Microsoft Management Summit (MMS) 2006. SVS was chosen for this prestigious acknowledgement by editors of Windows IT Pro Magazine.
SVS helps to reduce support costs and streamline software operations by providing faster, simpler and more manageable deployment of desktop applications. SVS helps eliminate application conflicts and delivers instant application activation, deactivation and reset capabilities.
Scott Jones, Altiris product manager for SVS, said, “There are dozens of use cases and potential benefits of using Software Virtualization Solution. With SVS, Altiris is able to effectively eliminate DLL conflicts, even when a customer has reason to run multiple versions of the same application. In addition, one of the most compelling aspects of SVS is that it is simple to deploy and implement. SVS doesn’t alter or interfere with the base Windows application. SVS is entirely transparent to the user, and applications deployed with SVS function exactly as they would with conventional installation methods.”
More than 50 products competed for the coveted Best of Show award at MMS 2006, Microsoft’s largest-ever gathering of information technology professionals and Microsoft partners. Best of Show candidates were required to deliver products that are easily integrated and directly beneficial to the Windows network environment.
