Altiris SVS eliminates conflicts between applications but does not alter the Windows installation. AppStream’s technology provides efficient and flexible streaming to deliver on-demand applications to the desktop. The combination of the two provides IT organizations: Increased control of software environments More efficient service with true on-demand application delivery and software repair Flexibility to quickly move users and applications between computers Reduced software license costs Reduced testing and help desk costs through conflict-free software operations If you aren’t familiar with the technology, some of the benefits of software virtualization and streaming include: Elimination of software conflicts Instantaneous software repair Application migration in days versus months Desktop lockdown with maintained end-user productivity Efficient software license control AppStream 5.1 provides an on-demand delivery platform for SVS software. Integration between AppStream and SVS technologies provides the latest method to track, monitor and restrict applications from a central location. In addition, software license agreement compliance can now be automated. This integration also simplifies and streamlines patch and software update delivery for IT organizations while making the process seamless for end users. The Altiris service-oriented management architecture is open for development by Altiris Developer Program partners. AppStream is one of the first to leverage open Altiris APIs to optimize AppStream 5.1 for compatibility with Altiris SVS software. Software Development
