IT security solutions major Symantec today said it has partnered with technology major Hewlett Packard (HP) for providing online backup to HP's consumer desktop and notebook PCs globally.
Symantec has inked an agreement to distribute Norton Online Backup on HP consumer desktop and notebook PCs worldwide, Symantec said in a statement.
The 30-day trial offer of Norton Online Backup would be pre-installed in the consumer desktop and notebooks and will provide five gigabytes (5GB) of secured online storage, it said.
Symantec has more than 8 million customers in the consumer online backup segment with three million backups per day.
Users can remotely manage and restore lost files from any computer with a web browser and connected to the Internet. Backups are conducted automatically or on a user-defined schedule.
"We're very pleased that HP continues to choose Norton, this time to bring our new web-based backup service to HP customers worldwide," Symantec President (Consumer Business Unit) Janice Chaffin said.
HP consumer PCs are currently shipped with a 60-day version of Norton Internet Security.
