Symantec Altiris Asset Management Solutions

The platform of management Symantec Management Platform (SMP) and solutions of Altiris are allowed to create at the enterprise command center IT assets. Treat typical tasks of management: inventory of infrastructure, preparation of jobs, standardization of the used software, status monitoring of updates, tracking a status and work of elements of infrastructure (PC, notebooks, servers and IT services) and also processing of collected data in real time. Thus, Altiris is the irreplaceable tool during the building, management and process optimization of management of IT and cybersecurity.

Strengths of Altiris are a consequence of features of its modular architecture. So, the universal platform of management of SMP allows, adding the necessary modules, to expand functionality of a system, saving at the same time the mechanism of management. Interaction with the ICs other components is implemented via specialized modules connectors. With their help the command center obtains information on work of various elements of the corporate IC and transfers them commands that allows to control effectively work of solutions of different vendors within management processes of IT and cybersecurity. Moreover, Altiris allows to automate a number of processes (for example, control of work of software or installation of updates) which otherwise are executed by system administrators manually and require a set of routine transactions. In Altiris all necessary actions are in coordination and unmistakably executed for all elements of infrastructure, including final objects. Thereby the set of the risks connected with violation of use and integrity of software, emergence of functional mismatch and emergence of "holes" in the cybersecurity system is eliminated. Besides, within a line of solutions of Symantec (Endpoint Protection, Backup Exec, Data Loss Prevention, Control Compliance Suite) the Altiris system allows to exchange data and to react automatically to incidents, for example, to start a certain sequence of the "blocking" actions when exceeding number of operations of any module.
