    Altiris, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATRS), a pioneer of IT lifecycle management solutions that reduce the total cost of owning IT resources, today announced that Gartner Research director, Patricia Adams, and Altiris® asset management segment manager, Dave Johnson, will conduct a complimentary webinar to discuss the benefits of managing IT assets via a configuration management database (CMDB).

    The webinar will take place on Thursday, Aug. 25 at 11 a.m. EST and will provide participants with a better understanding of how a centralized CMDB can help optimize IT services while cutting costs and helping to improve IT security management.

    The webinar and live product demo will provide insights into:

    • Optimizing the use of valuable resources through building and maintaining integration points between data repositories, process management, analysis, and execution tools
    • Understanding the benefits of a single, centralized CMDB leveraged across multiple organizations

    The single CMDB is central to all Altiris management solutions, creating a logical model of discoverable and non-discoverable assets through automated discovery, continuous verification and status accounting. The CMDB also manages software versions within a definitive software library to help ensure accurate software release management. Altiris further supports release management through integrated software packaging, preflight testing and targeted software distribution.

    Altiris configuration management solutions differentiate the Altiris offering from the rest of the market by helping customers execute problem resolution tasks using embedded service desk tools for software delivery, imaging, OS migration, PC backup and recovery, patch management and remote control.
