Altiris Solutions software provides easy-to-use software
distribution capabilities. On selected desktop and notebook
models, an Altiris management agent is included as part of the
preloaded software. This agent enables communication with
the Altiris Solutions software, which can be used to complete new
hardware deployment or personality migration to a new operating
system using easy-to-follow wizards.
When Altiris Solutions software is used in conjunction
with System Software Manager or the HP Client Manager,
administrators can also update ROM BIOS and device driver
software from a central console.

System Software Manager
System Software Manager (SSM) lets you remotely update
system-level software on multiple systems simultaneously. When
executed on a client computer, SSM detects both hardware and
software versions, then updates the appropriate software from a
central repository, known as a file store. Driver versions that are
supported by SSM are denoted with a special icon on the HP
driver download Web site and on the
Support Software
CD. To
download the utility or to obtain more information on SSM, visit
