Huawei Symantec announced the North American launch of three storage products aimed at small to medium-size businesses and enterprises: an enterprise-class storage solution for SMBs, a high-performance computing-focused unified storage platform, and a multiservice gateway for security and routing.

It is an all-in-one device that can provide IP routing and flexible network connections, and helps assure businesses of end-to-end security.
“The solutions introduced today embody the innovative and cost-effective solutions promised at the launch of the Huawei Symantec joint venture,” said Jane Li, general manager of North America for Huawei Symantec. “We are committed to helping North American SMBs and enterprises manage their critical information assets with cutting-edge technology at reasonable prices.”
