Internet services developed by the Network Services Division enrich daily life and deliver convenience. For example, Toshiba's collective intelligence technologies can search for related information among large volumes of data, and we have applied them to a TV program recommendation service that suggests upcoming programs to users of Toshiba digital video, based on analysis of their recording preferences. The Division also provides gateway technology for creating collaborative platforms between corporate mission-critical systems and mobile websites. Other services include firmware download services that allow users of digital products to download and update firmware over the internet.
From industry leading memories to advanced enterprise solutions, the Semiconductor & Storage Products Company seeks global leadership across its product areas. In semiconductors the emphasis is on three key business fields: memories, logic LSIs / analog and imaging ICs, and discrete products. Toshiba invented NAND Flash memory and leads the industry in innovation in process technology and memory capacity, supporting advances in digital products from cameras to smartphones and beyond. In Power devices, Analog ICs, CMOS image sensors and ASICs, Toshiba supplies the global market with high-performance products and system solutions. In Storage products, the integration of high capacity SSD and high performance HDD in enterprise solutions underlines that Toshiba is not only a global market leader but the sole company able to supply HDD, SSD and NAND Flash memory solutions including memory cards.
This division provides coordination in the Optical Disk Drive, including DVD/BD Drive for notebook PCs. Manufacturing and sales have been carried out by Toshiba Samsung Storage Technology Corporation, a Toshiba Group company, since April 1, 2004.
