Migration Toolkit(TM) tops "Network and Systems Management"

category based on its complete and unique ability to easily migrate

Altiris(R) Inc., a leader in systems management solutions that reduce the total cost of owning information technology, Wednesday announced that Altiris Migration Toolkit is a finalist for the Network Computing 2002 Well-Connected Award in the category of "Network and Systems Management."

Altiris Migration Toolkit was chosen for its innovative ability to provide complete pre-migration inventory assessment, PC cloning/network configuration, software installation, personality restoration, and post-migration status report in a single tool. It is the only complete migration solution.

"No other annual awards program in the industry uses hands-on evaluations to choose its winners," said Fritz Nelson, publisher of CMP's Network Computing. "Our editors worked at length to research and test the best offerings in the enterprise arena. Being named a Well-Connected Award Finalist is a true reflection of product quality rather than merely product popularity or marketing effectiveness."

"Altiris Migration Toolkit has saved our customers thousands of dollars and hours in the normally tedious process of installing or migrating software to numerous PCs. Migration Toolkit is the only complete, single-vendor migration solution that addresses every step of the full Windows XP migration process," said Greg Butterfield, Altiris president and chief executive officer.

"Altiris is honored to be named as a finalist in the Network Computing Well-Connected Awards. This award provides respected affirmation that Migration Toolkit is unparalleled in offering a one-stop solution of tightly integrated deployment and migration tools."

This year, the winners of the Network Computing Well-Connected Awards will be revealed at a gala event held on the evening before one of the industry's largest trade shows, NetWorld+Interop 2002 Las Vegas. All finalists will be highlighted in the May 13 issue of Network Computing and also on Network Computing Online at http://www.networkcomputing.com.
