Symantec can now deliver instantaneous, on-demand software through the flexibility of application virtualization and streaming.

These new capabilities build on Symantec's strategy of providing integrated protection and management for the exploding number of endpoint devices that organisations are required to secure and manage. Symantec's endpoint virtualisation and advanced application delivery capabilities complement existing endpoint management solutions for configuration and patch management, asset management, endpoint security, network access control, endpoint data loss prevention, and endpoint data protection and system recovery. 

Symantec helps customers reduce costs and improve agility by leveraging virtualisation technology to provide the management infrastructure customers require across heterogeneous virtual and physical environments. 

The nSuite technologies will operate in conjunction with Symantec's Altiris Software Virtualisation Solution Professional, which currently includes streaming and virtualisation technology from Altiris and AppStream to  provide faster, easier, and more manageable application consumption. 

It isolates applications and data from the base operating system allowing customers to instantly add, remove or reset applications on a Windows desktop, completely avoiding conflicts between applications or even between different versions of the same application. 

AppStream's award-winning streaming technology allows any Windows-based software application to be streamed on-demand to an end-user's desktop in LAN, WAN or to consumer PCs in home environments, and includes a full complement of user-based application provisioning and license management tools.

The combined offering helps customers resolve application conflicts, streamline software repairs, and deliver software on-demand all while maintaining the typical end-user application experience.
