•Storage and Server Management. Our Storage and Server Management segment focuses on providing
enterprise and large enterprise customers with storage and server management, data protection, and
application performance management solutions across heterogeneous storage and server platforms.
•Services. Our Services segment provides customers with leading IT risk management services and
solutions to manage security, availability, performance and compliance risks across multi-vendor environ-
ments. In addition, our services including managed security services, consulting, education, and threat and
early warning systems, help customers optimize and maximize their Symantec technology investments.
•Other. Our Other segment is comprised of sunset products and products nearing the end of their life cycle. It
also includes general and administrative expenses; amortization of acquired product rights, other intangible
assets, and other assets; charges, such as acquired in-process research and development, stock-based com-
pensation, restructuring and certain indirect costs that are not charged to the other operating segments.
Our reportable segments are the same as our operating segments. The accounting policies of the segments are
the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. There are no intersegment sales. Our
chief operating decision maker evaluates performance based on direct profit or loss from operations before income
taxes not including nonrecurring gains and losses, foreign exchange gains and losses, and miscellaneous other
income and expenses. Except for goodwill, as disclosed in Note 7, the majority of our assets are not discretely
identified by segment. The depreciation and amortization of our property, equipment, and leasehold improvements
are allocated based on headcount, unless specifically identified by segment.
