Altiris SVS Named Co-Winner With Mozilla Firefox in the 'Software & Dev Tool' Category SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Altiris, Inc. (NASDAQ:ATRS), a pioneer of IT lifecycle management solutions that reduce the total cost of owning IT resources, today announced Altiris(R) Software Virtualization Solution(TM) (SVS) has been named co-winner, with Mozilla Firefox, of the 22nd Annual PC Magazine Technical Excellence Award. According to PC Magazine, SVS "could reshape the PC landscape at the IT level." Unlike existing hardware and system virtualization products, SVS allows an application to be deployed and used without altering the host operating system or conflicting with other applications. The solution also enables same-system, conflict-free hosting of multiple versions of the same application. PC Magazine said, "Our editorial and lab staffs nominate breakthrough developments and the people behind them, and we get together (virtually) to deliberate (oh, how we deliberate), discuss (ditto), and finally, vote, to determine which products, technologies, and individuals were the champs and which were simply the sparring partners. "In this story, we recap the most influential tech developments of the past year in nine product categories. We look not only at the technical excellence winners but at the trends that influenced them and the products against which they competed."
