ManageFusion 09 - End of Day 1

What a great opening day to ManageFusion 09.

Quick Impressions, thoughts, and Ideas:

- Altiris 7 Launches, the product is ready for prime time, and Symantec has shown a commitment to putting the pieces together for a combined enterprise strategy going forward.  Big new for the software industry.

- Partner Expo was great.  Meeting with partners from a broad range of Symantec portfolio is a great place to gather ideas, share information, and provide solutions to customers

- Dell and Symantec:  Dell Management Console built on the Symantec Management Platform (Altiris 7) strengthens the message to IT staffs for simplifying their jobs and reducing costs.

- Where can you find Workflow 7?  Well, I still don't know when it will release, but it will go beta from http://beta.altiris.com, and I can give it to you for free. :)

- Data Loss Prevention.  All that information leaving companies? OUCH! Very Bad. Legitimate serious threat that Symantec provides a solution for.  Very cool.

- The band at the keynote rocked!

Just my thoughts from day 1, I will make the rounds tomorrow, and let you know what I see.
