Altiris Takes Software Virtualization on the Road; Altiris, with Sponsor HP, to Provide Complimentary Half-Day Seminars on the Latest Virtualization T

Altiris Inc. (Nasdaq: ATRS), a pioneer of IT lifecycle management solutions that reduce the total cost of owning IT resources, today announced a software virtualization seminar series, with sponsor HP, to provide customers with a first-hand look at the latest in virtualization and innovative software management technologies.

The complimentary seminars will take place in 12 North American locations from Feb. 21 - Feb. 24, including Denver, Dallas, Baltimore, San Francisco, Atlanta, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, Orange County, Minneapolis and Toronto. VMware will present in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Orange County and Denver. For additional details and registration information, please visit: www.altiris.com/Campaigns/SVSTour.aspx.

Altiris technology experts, industry analysts, customers and partners will demonstrate how virtualization technologies can simplify software management, reduce end-user downtime, help maximize IT investments and lower help desk costs by:

-- Eliminating application conflicts

-- Instantly repairing damaged applications

-- Reducing testing time for application rollouts

-- Levering the additive benefits of system and application virtualization

-- Managing virtual and physical assets using Altiris solutions

Altiris will showcase Altiris(R) Software Virtualization Solution(TM) (SVS), the technology that PC Magazine said, \"could reshape the PC landscape at the IT level,\"* while Computer Reseller News claimed that, \"SVS has the potential to rewrite the rules.\"**

Unlike existing hardware and system virtualization products, SVS abstracts the installation of an application\'s files and registry settings to allow the application to be deployed and used without altering the host operating system or conflicting with other applications. SVS also enables same-system, conflict-free hosting of multiple versions of the same application. For more information about SVS, please visit www.altiris.com/juice/svs.
