As a leading security and storage provider, Huawei Symantec has developed
rapidly by focusing on innovation and global expansion, launching a series of
proprietary Firewall/VPN products, high-performance security gateway products
and cutting-edge DPI products. In 2010, by launching the complete UTM product
line, Huawei Symantec hopes to strengthen its leadership position in the
security market, besides bolstering its storage product portfolio by
launching proprietary high-to-low-end network storage products, challenging a
market previously dominated by overseas players. Its high-end cluster NAS
product N8000 has achieved highest performance a rating by standards body
SPEC; traditional storage products continue to gain market share; cloud
storage solutions such as the distributed file system, online backup and
cloud-node are also gaining momentum.

dominated by global players and trading barriers, the Company has retained
80% annual growth and become a key player in security and storage markets,
with annual sales in 2009 reaching US$300 million.
In China, product sales remain a rapid growth area, with major
breakthroughs in Telecom, Finance, Education, Energy, NSP, while high-end
products also achieve leading market share.
Huawei Symantec has successfully expanded into EMEA, Latin-America,
Russia and Asia Pacific. The increasing global sales network has signified
the completion of its initial global strategy deployment.
Secospace security product: Realize business value
According to Huawei Symantec, security is neither a single-point
protection nor a passive response to security threats. Instead, security
should be a holistic and proactive factor helping customers achieve their
business values.

Explosive growth of information has led to more complicated storage
management needs. Therefore, Huawei Symantec hopes to meet the demands by
offering comprehensive solutions, i.e. a "Converged Storage" strategy. Huawei
Symantec converges storage, equipment, security, business and services to
provide cost-effective and energy-efficient storage solutions.
A fresh start for the year 2010 — Secospace/Oceanspace
"Huawei Symantec has achieved major breakthroughs in key markets,
technologies and products in the last two years," said Mr. Zhang Ping'an,
Huawei Symantec COO. "To address the greater challenges in 2010, the Company
has updated its strategies in marketing, branding and R&D. Secospace and
Oceanspace are more than brand names as they reflect the Company's
understanding of market trends, customer demands, as well as security and
storage technologies. The announcement is a new start for Huawei Symantec's
global strategy."
