Total Management Suite Helps Reduce Management Consoles, Costs and Complexity
SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 14 -- Altiris, Inc. (NASDAQ:ATRS), a pioneer of IT lifecycle management solutions that reduce the total cost of owning IT resources, today announced Altiris(R) Total Management Suite(TM) as a heterogeneous, integrated management solution that is designed to help IT organizations solve issues related to security, compliance, unnecessary costs and IT change management, all at an excellent value.
The Lafayette School Corporation required a comprehensive management solution for their network that includes 130 Dell servers and 4,000 Dell PCs in 19 facilities and two network centers. The district researched several products before deciding on Total Management Suite. Kevin Little, Lafayette School Corporation CTO and director of facilities, said, "A major selling point with Altiris IT lifecycle management is that it delivers in one package the functionality of five other products that I was using to help us manage the network, products that didn't provide half the capabilities of the Altiris solutions. Now I only need to support one solution. The money Altiris saves us in support costs alone will pay for the Altiris investment within two years, not including all the other ways Altiris saves us time and money."
Altiris Total Management Suite is the industry's most comprehensive suite of IT lifecycle automation solutions and is designed to help IT organizations manage, secure and support all IT assets promoting effective service delivery. It combines all of the functionality of:
o Altiris Service & Asset Management Suite(TM), which combines enterprise service and asset management disciplines into a single, centralized CMDB and asset repository, to help determine asset TCO and achieve optimal levels of service.
o Altiris Client Management Suite(TM), which enables administrators to deploy, manage and troubleshoot systems from virtually anywhere.
o Altiris Security Management Suite(TM), which combines remediation tools with a unique, seven-area vulnerability assessment for information security and system integrity.
o Altiris Server Management Suite(TM), which is a comprehensive solution for managing heterogeneous, business-critical servers and operations.
Steve Morton, Altiris VP of product management and marketing, said, "We built Total Management Suite as the answer to customers' requests for most of the Altiris functionality at a single, attractive price. We have already sold hundreds of thousands of nodes of Total Management Suite, validating Altiris' mission to provide systems management solutions that work seamlessly together to solve IT's most pressing business requirements."
With Total Management Suite, Altiris customers can reduce operational costs and increase efficiencies, set the foundation for future growth and align IT with business priorities. Other benefits include:
o Reduce service delivery costs while increasing service quality
