Toshiba are please to announce that our leading range of business laptops is the first in the UK to be available with OpenSolaris 2008.11 pre-installed. The laptops will be available for purchase directly through Sun following a joint partnership to offer ‘best of breed’ technologies.

The latest version of the OpenSolaris platform is ideal for software developers as its built-in features help build, debug and deploy new applications faster – enabling users to release applications and services to the market as quickly as possible. The open-source format of OpenSolaris also allows developers to scale their needs using a proven system that supports mission critical applications.

Ken Chan, Senior Product Manager, Toshiba UK said: “Toshiba invests heavily in research and development and it shows in our products - we have been able to integrate various technologies and provide greater innovation at lower price points. The OpenSolaris 2008.11 option will allow us to offer business professionals exactly what they demand - an even broader range of computing choices.”

Toshiba offers two models to support OpenSolaris 2008.11: the Tecra M10 and the Portégé R600. Both are tailored for business requirements with Toshiba EasyGuard, which further enhances and protects the laptops through features such as a shock protected chassis. A sealed spill resistant keyboard on the Portégé R600 protects against accidental spillage and both models offer the Toshiba 3D Accelerometer that responds to freefalls, shocks and vibrations to protect and prolong the life of the hard drive.
