Symantec's ready for Windows 7

NEW DELHI, INDIA: Symantec Corp. has announced its support for Microsoft Windows 7, with its Norton-branded consumer products and enhanced versions of its enterprise security, backup and recovery and migration technologies.  Working closely with Microsoft, Symantec has engineered solutions to help Microsoft customers—from consumers to large enterprises—simplify the migration to Windows 7 and build a safer, more secure computing environment, it says in a press release.

It says that in addition to the flagship Norton offerings, OnlineFamily.Norton, Norton Online Backup and Norton Utilities are all Windows 7 compatible.

Symantec has deployed and migrated more than 300 million desktops and notebooks to Windows 2000, XP, Vista—and now Windows 7.  Symantec solutions automate the Windows 7 migration process and help users cut migration cost and complexity.   

"As the number and sophistication of Web-based viruses and malicious code escalates, businesses need to be secured with more than traditional antivirus technology.   Symantec has developed software engineered for Windows 7 to help ensure Microsoft customers are more completely protected.  Symantec Endpoint Protection provides Windows 7 business customers with the confidence that their critical assets are protected from today’s known and unknown threats. " The company states.

"Lack of proper backup and recovery protection for desktops and laptops puts organizations at risk of losing critical business data and can hinder productivity during the migration to Windows 7.  Information management solutions supporting Windows 7 can help organizations get back up and running should they encounter a system failure, human error or disaster. "
