Desktop replacements
that will help keep fleets afloat.
Toshiba’s Tecra M and Tecra S series have been developed
specifically for businesses deploying fleets of all sizes, from those
with dozens of Notebooks to those with thousands.
We’ve focused on building in features that minimise the Total
Cost of Ownership and maximise your return on investment.
This involves a strong focus on scalability, stability, security,
durability and reliability.
How the Tecra M and Tecra S
minimise the Total Cost of Ownership.
We work closely with some of our key large
customers (via initiatives like our Customer
Alliance Program, or CAP) to develop and
refine features that are adapted specifically
to the needs of larger enterprises. Many of
the features in the Tecra M and S series
have been developed after input and
feedback from our CAP partners. Australia
is one of only five markets in the world
where Toshiba has such a program. It means
that the Notebooks that reach this market
are designed for this market.
Whether your business is large or small, the initial cost of a fleet Notebook is only a fraction of its total
lifetime cost - around 15%. The Tecra M and Tecra S are designed to help reduce the other 85%.
This is achieved by:
Developing scalable systems.
The Tecra M and S are designed so that the systems
and processes developed to manage a small
number of Notebooks can then be implemented
across large numbers, or expanded as a fleet
grows. This minimises the cost of deployment and
management.
Having a stable platform and a common
software image.
Toshiba’s Tecra M and S series are designed
to remain stable for at least 12 months. This
reduces the cost of evaluation, deployment
and training as new models have consistent
software images and long lifecycles.
SOE consistency creates a simple network
environment, saving users and administrators
time and trouble.
Developing common docking solutions that
are backwards compatible.
The Advanced Port Replicator III Plus provides
a common dock for all Tecra Notebooks. This
streamlines IT infrastructure.
Common Slim SelectBay solutions ensure cross-
platform compatibility for greater flexibility and
easy expandability. Ultra-slim SelectBay modules
include a range of optical drives and hard disk
drives.
Both the Advanced Port Replicator III Plus and
ultra-slim SelectBay are backwards compatible
with existing Tecra and Portégé Notebooks
and cross compatible with other Notebooks
within the range. One size fits all.
This is achieved by:
Enhancing security
Toshiba’s extra security features reduce the
risk of data loss or theft and the cost and
inconvenience of replacement.
Reducing downtime
Toshiba’s Notebooks have the lowest failure
rates in the industry, which translates into
fewer problems and less time lost.
Ruggedised features reduce the risk of everyday
accidents and incidents causing damage and
leading to unproductive downtime.
Increasing productivity
The advanced docking system enables users
to step back into the office and immediately
reconnect with resources. No time wasted.
Integrated WiFi, Bluetooth
®
and Toshiba’s
ConfigFree
utility make it easy for users to
create, diagnose and troubleshoot network
connections. Less time wasted equals more
time connected and productive.
The Tecra series always includes the latest
processors and other advanced technology to
maximise performance and productivity.
Tecra Notebooks come loaded with
Microsoft
®
Office OneNote 2003. This enables
individuals and teams to manage, prioritise,
manipulate and share information more
productively.
Toshiba’s Summit utility makes it easy to share
documents and compare notes. This encourages
collaboration and streamlines processes.
Maximising
business benefits.
Reducing the cost
of fleet management.
They achieve this in two ways:
We encourage our customers to tell us
how to build Notebooks.
