17th IT Press Tour to Visit Ten Storage Companies in Silicon Valley

The IT Press Tour, a media event launched in June 2010, unveiled participating companies for the 17th edition scheduled from November 30th to December 4th in San Francisco, CA and Silicon Valley.

This edition is dedicated to IT infrastructure.
 
Twelve companies will be met and visited by a group of European reporters during this edition: Cohesity, FlashGrid, LiveAction, Mangstor, OpenIO, Outpace.io, Primary Data, Rozo Systems, Rubrik, Springpath, Tegile and Xirrus.

“We’re very proud of the success of The IT Press Tour, it’s a fantastic recognition for the value, effect and impact the tour has demonstrated so far. Some companies in the past have participated multiple times and really took off with hundreds of coverage generated by the tour, moving them from a very confidential position to a very visible one,” said Celine Coustaut, owner, The IT Press Tour. “The other remarkable point is about marketers who changed job and wish to participate in their new position in their new company. We also raised the bar again with a total of 4500 coverage since we launched the tour.”
 
“We are very excited to be participating in the IT Press Tour this year. At Cohesity, EMEA is a strong focus market for us, and we are looking forward to sharing our story and technology with the European community,” said Riccardo Di Blasio, COO and head of field operations, Cohesity.

“The IT Press Tour is an invaluable opportunity to meet many of Europe’s leading technology journalists for engaging discussion on emerging trends,” said: Lance Smith, Primary Data CEO. “We appreciate having the chance to host the tour and love the engaging discussion with the media who are reporting on what’s new and important in IT.“
