Lenovo announced that Stoneware webNetwork Powered by ThinkServer(R) is available in North America directly through Lenovo and Lenovo business partners. This solution features Stoneware's webNetwork software platform bundled with thirty end-user software licenses for no additional charge. Lenovo has tested and validated webNetwork to support up to 1,500 users when installed on a ThinkServer(R) RD330. The Stoneware webNetwork unified cloud platform enables bring-your-own-device (BYOD) initiatives that simplify IT and reduce technology acquisition costs. webNetwork delivers files, applications and reports from resources that reside in a customer's private data center, the public cloud, or on a local device, through a browser with a single password. webNetwork supports a wide variety of end-user computing devices including PCs, tablets and smartphones.

Lenovo Group Limited (SEHK:992) is looking for acquisition opportunities. Lenovo Chief Executive Yang Yuanqing said, "Lenovo is looking for deals in servers and computer storage. Servers and storage is the business we want to expand and develop."

Lenovo offered a peek under the covers on a new consumer cloud storage service called Lenovo Reach, which it said will allow users to securely access their cloud-based files and applications from any device via a single login ID. Expected to go live later this year, Lenovo Reach will offer 5GB of free capacity. Beginning June 22, Lenovo said it will offer the Reach storage service to a limited number of users in order to garner feedback. Customers interested in a preview of Lenovo Reach can sign up now for the beta test. The Lenovo Reach personal cloud service will offer a single-sign on ID that allows users access to social networks, their online applications, as well as a search engine to help them find files, photos and other digital media across their online storage accounts. The new service can encrypt and remember all user IDs and passwords, offering users a method of accessing favorite websites with a single click. Lenovo Reach supports Microsoft Windows, Google Android, and iOS operating systems across Lenovo and non-Lenovo branded PCs, tablets, and smart phones.
