Butterfield has earned the distinction of UITA CEO of the Year because of his
ability to drive success at Altiris and establish a launching pad for
successful technology entrepreneurs to follow. Altiris client and mobile, server, security and IT asset
management solutions natively integrate via a common Web-based console and
repository.
Key benchmark results include:

-- Record results for x86 server scalability with 150,951 business
operations per second (bops ) on flagship 8-socket, 16-core configuration --
more than twice the results of alternative x86 servers (1);
-- The industry's only scalable and hardware partitionable 64-bit x86
server that can be configured as 2-core, 4-core, 8-core or 16-core and
deliver from 32,610 to 150,951 bops (2). Fabric7 is headquartered in Mountain View,
CA. It's an excellent reflection on our
employees , who continually find new ways to create client value.
