Altiris, based in Lindon, Utah, develops software to manage and configure corporate assets, such as laptops, mobile devices and servers. Symantec expects the addition of Altiris to create a more comprehensive approach to better manage and enforce security policies at the end point; identify and protect against threats; and repair and service assets.
My experience with Symantec is that they acquire very good products and destroy them. The most recent victim was Backup Exec. The new enterprise version is absolute garbage. They didn't really trash Ghost, they just really didn't do anything with it to compete. Since Ghost was obsolete, they bought PowerQuest's Drive Image and incorporated the features into the Ghost product line- and it has stagnated. Now that they allowed the market leading product to stagnate, and then added PowerQuest's products to the mix of stagnating products, it only makes sense to stop Altiris from innovating as well.

Too bad . . .
