Quality Integration Services, Inc. Purchases 150,000 Seat License From Symantec

Global Integrator Purchases Norton Ghost To Rollout New PCs Across U.S. Network

CUPERTINO, Calif. Oct. 11, 1999 - Symantec Corporation (Nasdaq: SYMC) announced today that Quality Integration Services, Inc., a global systems integrator, bought a 150,000 seat license for Symantec's Norton Ghost disk-cloning product to configure and distribute new PCs more effectively and cost efficiently.

Norton Ghost works by creating an identical image of a hard disk drive, effectively taking a 'snapshot' of all the files - including hidden and system files that make up the operating system, applications and configurations settings. This image can then be copied simultaneously to any number of servers, to create completely identical installations. Norton Ghost enables increased productivity by allowing multiple workstations to be installed at the same time.

Quality Integration Services will use the Symantec solution at multiple distribution sites across the United States to image files and create copies of the original disk onto all incoming machines.

"Norton Ghost is one of the most sophisticated disk-copying programs available. Our administrators can set up a single PC and clone a standard disk image across the entire enterprise, which further improves efficiency," said Kevin Olson, director of support operations for Quality Integration Services.
