Symantec (News - Alert), a provider of security, storage and systems management solutions, asserted that it has added new enhancements to the Symantec.cloud portfolio of SaaS (News - Alert) services which will only be highly beneficial to the customers. The company also hopes to bring more of its technologies to the cloud, offering increased flexibility of choice to customers and at the same time maximizing service manageability.

According to the company, Symantec.cloud services secure and manage information stored on endpoints and delivered via email, Web, and instant messaging. Building on the foundation of MessageLabs’ software-as-a-service (SaaS) offerings and proven Symantec technologies, Symantec.cloud provides essential protection while virtually eliminating the need to manage hardware and software on site.

With Symantec.cloud IT professionals can: provide a secure computing environment; enforce acceptable use and regulatory policies; deliver ongoing access to critical applications; and drive cost efficiencies into their organizations.

Symantec claimed that the increase in demand for Symantec.cloud offerings only demonstrates the customer need for simplifying complex IT tasks.

Officials with the company commented that there is a great deal of momentum in the adoption of cloud-based services for their ease of management and deployment. This demand has necessitated expansion of Symantec’ data center capabilities to deliver SaaS services to customers in more than 112 countries. Customers need to protect their information with fewer resources and as little administrative hassle as possible. Symantec.cloud's proven cloud-based offerings deliver secure, affordable and resilient technology without requiring the headache of additional hardware, management software or dedicated IT staffing.

Symantec.cloud's service enhancements include: automatic backup – the Symantec Backup Exec.cloud will automatically protect the data on customer PCs and servers with simple, online backup and recovery; Simplified Archiving – with the Symantec.cloud email archiving services, one can simplify email storage management, legal discovery and regulatory compliance; Increased Manageability – the cloud services are easier to access and manage; and more.

Symantec officials said they are very excited about the opportunities available during a time of rapid growth in the cloud market. Leveraging Symantec.cloud's proven track record of delivering secure, cloud-based services for more than 11 years, the company is well positioned to lead the industry in a new generation of innovation, according to officials.
