Verdict from ITPro: SVS Seems to be a Winner

ITPro's Ian Murphy just finished running the new 2.1 release of SVS through the paces and he likes what he sees. According to Murphy, "Operations teams who spend a lot of time deploying and fixing applications can now concentrate on application maintenance rather than application conflict."

Here's an excerpt:

So just how easy was it to capture an application? Frighteningly easy! There are just 10 steps to capturing an application although the time taken to install the application still has to be factored in. You can keep the capture file running so that any configuration that needs to be done to the application, even if that means running the application, can be captured. This makes these settings inviolate as they are stored read-only. If you want to give the users control over how they configure their application let them configure it once they have it installed as a layer.
