Compatibility Mode
Altiris has tested its products on systems running Windows 2003 Server x64 editions and leveraging AMD 64 and Intel Xeon EM64T/Itanium hardware. These processors that provide native, backward compatible 32-bit processing capabilities are currently supported in 32-bit compatibility modes.
Native Mode
The core Altiris Agent supports x64 platforms as of Notification Server 6.0 SP3.
Roadmap
The following sections contain an outline of Altiris’ plan for supporting 64-bit platforms. This is not a commitment, only an indication of current timeline estimates and strategies.
Currently Altiris Solutions are built on .NET 1.1 which does not support the x64 platform. However, the Notification Server will be moving to .NET 2.0 for the “Bennelong” release so that Altiris Solutions can be run on native x64 server platforms (Q1 2007). All Altiris Solutions will be updated to support this new version of Notification Server and subsequently the x64 platform unless otherwise noted below.
Deployment Solution—In the “Asgard” release, Altiris will facilitate automated imaging and configuration of x64 and Itanium based systems on the Windows and Linux platforms. (Q3 2006)
Additional Altiris Solutions and infrastructure may be updated to natively support 64-bit platforms in this timeframe, based on market need and customer demand.
