-The company behind two OEM
solutions is now an independently branded firm as it becomes a new
Symantec Developer Program Partner-
Alpine, UT - November 3, 2009 - The company
that provides Application Control Solution and Local Security
Solution for the Symantec Management Platform (formerly known as
the Altiris Platform) has now become an independent brand, Arellia,
Inc., and a Symantec Developer Program partner. Effective
immediately, these two products are available for purchase from
Symantec and its channel partners worldwide through the Symantec
price list as an integrated third-party solution.
Arellia currently supports the 6.x versions of the Symantec
Management Platform. The company also announced plans to release
updated versions of Arellia Local Security Solution and Arellia
Application Control Solution that will support version 7.0 of the
Symantec Management Platform by the end of Q1 2010.
Arellia's CEO, Michael Sainsbury, was formerly the CTO of
Computing Edge (acquired by Altiris in 2000). From 2000-2004, he
served as VP Software Architecture for Altiris (now Symantec) as
well as directing Asia Pacific (APAC) growth for Altiris during
that time. In these roles, Sainsbury was the primary developer
behind the Altiris Notification Server technology, a core strength
of the Symantec Management Platform that is prevalent in the market
today.
Prior to its emergence as an independent brand, Arellia provided
OEM solutions to Symantec. As a Symantec Developer Program
partner, Arellia is expanding its field sales and support teams to
better support Symantec in helping their joint customers.
"Arellia has been a strong OEM partner that has played an
essential role within the Symantec Management Platform," said Mark
Magee, Sr. Director Product Management for Symantec. "We are
pleased to see the company progress to become an independent brand
as a new Symantec Developer Program partner and we look forward to
a strong and mutually beneficial relationship in support of
Symantec Management Platform 7.0 through 2010 and beyond."
"As an independently-branded company, Arellia
provides security and configuration management solutions that
compliment the Symantec Management Platform as well as Symantec
Endpoint Protection," said Dwain Kinghorn, Partner at SageCreek
Partners and former Altiris CTO. "No one understands the
Symantec and Altiris platform better than Arellia does, and the
company will use that background to provide solutions that leverage
customers' investments in Symantec security and configuration
solutions in the seasons to come."
