John W. Thompson, chairman and chief executive at Symantec, said:

"MessageLabs extends our investments in the SaaS segment and will allow us to offer our customers unprecedented choice from a single provider of message security solutions."

MessageLabs has 14 data centers around the globe, and this will mean that Symantec will be well positioned to expand its services internationally, especially as it recently acquired PC Tools.
