It places applications and data into managed units called Virtual Software Packages, that look and behave just like a normal installation but which are operating in their own protected ‘layers’ that never actually alter the base Windows installation. This means you can instantly deliver, activate, deactivate, reset and remove applications, completely avoid conflicts between applications and protect operating systems and other applications from corruption by an application and its use. In short Software Virtualisation provides :-   Virtual Packages look and behave completely normally Easier, faster, more flexible and more reliable installation, removal and migration of applications No more messy install and uninstall processes with reboots etc. Instant on/Instant off - Applications are made available or unavailable in a fraction of a second. Pick up and move an application and its current data to an entirely new system in seconds Maintain a completely clean base environment after removal or reset - no rebuilds required Reduction in time and effort to migrate to a new application version as old and new versions of an application can run side-by-side without conflict, until customers are ready to completely make the switch But actually comprise several separate layers - Here the base OS, an application layer with read only and read/write sub-layers and a separate data layer, each of which can be manipulated individually Minimisation of application problems and remediation time for these Instant application reset, which can be scheduled Application and data/settings can be stored in separate layers, so that an application can be reset but user settings maintained Eliminates all application conflicts. Applications run in their own layers and always use the correct version of any shared components Operating system and other applications cannot be corrupted by an application Different versions of the same application can peacefully coexist Dramatically reduces the amount of time spent on pre-deployment conflict testing Altiris' patent pending software virtualisation solution offers simple creation of virtual software packages and fully centralised deployment and management of these.   For further information contact Incit Technology Ltd John Eccles House Oxford Science Park Oxford Oxon OX4 4GP   Tel : 01865 338084 Fax : 01865 338100 Web : www.incit-technology.com Email : info@incit-technology.com   Send mail to webmaster@incit-technology.com with questions or comments about this web site.
