A few months ago privately held Huawei Symantec introduced into the North American market its Oceanspace S2600 storage platform for small- to midsized businesses; Oceanspace N8300 midrange and high-end storage; and Secospace USG2000 BSR/HSR multi-purpose gateway, which combines switching, routing, wireless access and voice service with security functions that include firewall, intrusion-protection and anti-spam.
Last October, Symantec Huawei announced Condre Storage as its authorized distributor and today said it has also signed a distribution agreement with Synnex.
According to Li, Symantec Huawei has about 1,000 customers, though none disclosed. Huawei Symantec's revenues also aren't disclosed, though parent firm Huawei's 2010 revenues are estimated at $3.4 billion, according to Dell'Oro Group. Symantec earlier this year reported non-GAAP revenue of about $6 billion for its 2010 fiscal year.
The joint venture Huawei Symantec is 51% owned by Huawei and 49% owned by Symantec, with John Thompson (Symantec's chairman) as its chairman and Ren Zhengfei (CEO of Huawei) as its CEO. The joint venture was established in 2008 with $150 million from Symantec, and Huawei contributing "in kind" with engineering based in China, says Li.
While some of the technologies used in the Huawei Symantec products -- including the firewall and anti-virus and anti-spam filtering capabilities -- originate with Symantec, other technical aspects, such as switching, are either Huawei contributions or combined expertise in storage.
