Altiris Positioned in Leaders Quadrant of the Desktop Software
Distribution Magic Quadrant Altiris(R) 6.0 Integrated IT Lifecycle
Management Helps Companies Cut Costs and Improve Software Security
SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Altiris, Inc.
(NASDAQ:ATRS), a pioneer of IT lifecycle management solutions that
reduce the total cost of owning IT resources, today announced that
Gartner placed Altiris in the Leaders Quadrant of the Gartner
Desktop Software Distribution Magic Quadrant*. Altiris(R) Software
Delivery Solution(TM) 6.0 automates software distribution tasks to
increase efficiency, improve security and reduce the cost of
managing IT. IT organizations often use purchasing criteria
outlined in Gartner Magic Quadrants to guide the selection process
for IT product evaluations and purchases. Gartner states that
vendors positioned in the Leaders Quadrant are performing well
today, have a clear vision of market direction and are actively
building competencies to sustain their leadership position in the
market. According to Gartner research, "IT organizations have
improved their focus and matured their processes, moving from a
tactical reactive approach to a strategic focus on managing not the
task at hand (like an individual application update), but the
entire life cycle of the user's desktop (or laptop). IT
organizations continue to demand more components from new and
prospective vendors as they find new things to manage, like patches
and application usage." ** Altiris is one of the few systems
management vendors to provide its customers with a breadth and
depth of fully integrated solutions in the areas of client, server
and asset management, all easily managed from a single console. The
end result is greater IT efficiency and lower cost of management
throughout the lifecycle of an IT asset. Altiris provides software
distribution and management as a core element of Altiris Client
Management Suite(TM). Functions like policy-based management,
automated inventory, patch management, backup and recovery,
application packaging, software metering and remote control are
also critical elements of the Altiris client management strategy.
These components, when seamlessly integrated and aligned with
effective IT best practices, help automate management tasks, reduce
costs and secure computing environments. Altiris Software Delivery
Solution 6.0 provides enterprise distribution of heterogeneous
applications and software updates to help companies increase
software security, manage mobile users with advanced features like
checkpoint recovery, dynamic bandwidth throttling and policy-based
delivery. "Altiris has now met the strict requirements to be
included in the Leader Quadrant for both the Software Distribution
Magic Quadrant and the PC Data and Settings Migration Magic
Quadrant," said Poul Nielsen, Altiris VP of marketing and product
strategy. "Software delivery is a significant component of a
larger, integrated client management offering and is key to gaining
control of an IT environment. Heterogeneous desktop and server
software management is essential to helping our enterprise and SMB
customers reduce the cost and complexity of systems management."
