After approaching the manufacturer we were given the following statement, “After careful consideration, Toshiba has decided to move its IP Edge and Strata CIX products into technical support phase on the 1st June 2016 for the UK and Irish market. Toshiba is committed to providing ongoing technical, licensing and spares support to its partners and customers and is already in communication with relevant parties regarding this decision to assist in their current and future planning.”
This news comes as the troubled conglomerate has said it will report a record 550bn yen ($4.5bn) annual loss and cut 6,800 jobs as it carries out a restructuring. The restructuring comes after Toshiba admitted earlier this year that it had overstated profits for six years.
