"Symantec is dedicated to helping our customers in Greater China region secure and manage their information-driven organisations," said Andy Wu, vice president, Symantec Corporation, and president, Greater China Region.

Wang and his team have standardised the company's IT infrastructure on a variety of Symantec products to improve application availability and prepare a new disaster recovery plan. China Mobile Group Zhejiang Company Limited has improved overall storage utilisation and has seen a reduction in the number of licenses needed. The overall data centre standardisation project has saved US$300,000 per year in IT staff time, as well as US$100,000 worth of improved staff productivity throughout the organisation.
China Telecom Corporation Limited Shanghai Branch keeps downtime to a minimum China Telecom Corporation Limited Shanghai Branch is recognised for standardising the company's data centre and security management infrastructure to increase security protection, improve efficiencies and reduce costs.

With these deployments, China Telecom Corporation Limited Shanghai Branch now has a flexible architecture based on Symantec technology.
