Software Virtualization Solution (SVS) is an application virtualization solution for Microsoft Windows.

Altiris Software Virtualization Solution allows applications and data to be put into virtual layers (application layers and data layers) instead of being installed to the base file system and Registry. This is achieved through the use of a filter driver and layering technology Altiris acquired from FSLogic.

Altiris recently announced a partnership with AppStream to provide streaming of virtual applications. According to a quote from DABCC.com, this will "deliver virtualized, on-demand application delivery and management".[1]

Altiris has recently been acquired by Symantec Corporation, who are the makers of Norton AntiVirus, amongst other things. SVS is free for personal use.
