Altiris Software Virtualization Solution delivers efficient application deployment, compatibility and management for Windows Vista

Altiris Software Virtualization Solution (SVS) allows applications to be deployed in a virtual layer that decouples them from the operating system, enabling users to instantly deactivate or reset applications and completely avoid conflicts between applications. SVS also allows users to host multiple versions of an application on the same system without conflicts between older and newer files.

Symantec has released an update to this solution, which now offers both application virtualisation enhancements, including Windows Vista support, and the addition of integrated application streaming. Symantec has partnered with AppStream, a pioneer and leading provider of application streaming, to deliver innovative, on-demand delivery of virtualised applications.

Altiris SVS tackles some of the most significant software ownership challenges and now simplifies application compatibility and on-demand computing. With these significant enhancements, Symantec gives customers the flexibility to install and run applications according to their own requirements. Organisations can now choose the software delivery model that works best for them and manage with confidence.

The new software is easy to use, eliminates conflicts between applications, keeps the base Windows installation pristine and provides efficient and flexible application streaming to meet business demands as needed. SVS now offers users increased control of software environments, reduced testing cycles and helpdesk costs and the flexibility to quickly move users and applications between computers.

Altiris Software Virtualization Solution 2.1 and Software Virtualization Solution Professional (includes streaming) are now available through Altiris direct sales, VARs, system integrators and select OEM partners. SVS is also available as a component of Altiris Total Management Suite and Altiris Client Management Suite Level 2.
