Keynotes and Announcements
In Lenovo Chairman and CEO Yang Yuanqing’s keynote, he addressed five developing themes that will continue to change the way people use technology by connecting:
- 1. People to devices through natural interfaces – like using voice interaction, iris scanning, or writing with a pen on real paper, to communicate with your device.
- Devices to each other so that they can seamlessly work together on the same cloud service platform, to create a holistic experience, such as connecting household appliances together to intelligently manage the right home environment.
- Devices to the network, to ensure customers can always be seamlessly connected anywhere, anytime, at either the lowest fees or the highest speed – at your choice. In fact, this is what Lenovo’s MVNO business wants to achieve.
- Your device to your personal data, so you can not only easily retrieve your data, but the devices will also know your preferences to serve you better.
- Devices with apps and services to create one-stop experience for all your needs.
New Software Defined Storage Solutions and Next-Generation SAN
- StorSelect, a new and innovative Software Defined Storage (SDS) appliance programme with the Lenovo StorageDX8200N and DX8200C offerings.
