Altiris Enhances IT Lifecycle Management Offerings With Strategic
Technology Acquisition Altiris Acquires BridgeWater Technologies
for Network Device Discovery, Provisioning and Configuration to
Optimize Zero-Touch Patch Management SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. 13
/PRNewswire/ -- Altiris, Inc. (NASDAQ:ATRS), a pioneer of IT
lifecycle management solutions that reduce the total cost of owning
information technology, today announced that it has acquired
substantially all of the assets of BridgeWater Technologies Inc., a
privately held company and an innovator in network device
configuration management. Financial details of the transaction were
not disclosed. This acquisition enhances Altiris' capabilities in
network device discovery, provisioning and configuration, allowing
for more comprehensive network device management. The acquired
technology enables complete Layer 2 discovery, network device
configuration management, as well as VLAN, VIP address and port
management. It is also an extension of the recently announced
Altiris Inventory Solution for network devices (see press release
at http://www.altiris.com/company/pressreleases). This transaction
also enhances Altiris' management strategy specifically in the area
of patch management. Poul Nielsen, Altiris VP of marketing and
product strategy said, "This is the third Altiris acquisition in 10
months that demonstrates our commitment to helping customers
implement zero-touch patch management processes." Nielsen
continued, "The acquired Wise Solutions technology automates patch
quality assurance testing; we also recently acquired software
virtualization technology to help isolate and minimize the impact
of problem patches on target computers; now BridgeWater
Technologies allows customers to protect an IT infrastructure by
quarantining vulnerable systems on the network. These combined
technologies and Altiris Patch Management Solution give customers
the confidence to implement a zero touch process and enable
real-time patch management." Altiris server provisioning
capabilities will also be extended by this transaction. Customers
can use Altiris Deployment Solution(TM) to automatically configure
a spare server with the appropriate operating system and
application configuration. IT administrators can then quickly and
easily switch the newly provisioned server from an isolated,
staging VLAN to the production VLAN and add the server to the VIP
address pool to begin service. This will enable Altiris customers
to more fully respond to the on-demand computer model. About
