“Last tour for 2019 with a superb week in perspective for this coming IT Infrastructure edition with an impressive list of hot companies, team and technologies with huge impact on the market. We have also a few new comers such Actifio, Commvault, Scale Computing and VMware and all the 12 companies will present to a group of top US and EMEA journalists. It will be good to interact with these companies to get a product and strategy update, learn their 2019 lessons and understand their future directions,” said Philippe Nicolas, creator of The IT Press Tour.

“And we’ll continue to break records: number of articles so far established at 11,100+ and we’ll pass easily 11,500 with this edition, companies with 227 distinct ones visited, 356 sessions organized and more 700+ CxO,” he concluded.

  • Brian Reagan, CMO, Actifio
    “The pace of change for data-driven organizations is breathtaking. Digital transformation dominates boardrooms, and the cloud is taking over not only the management of more and more important applications and workloads but also the protection of all that valuable, sensitive data. Over our first decade, Actifio has helped thousands of customers get ahead of these trends with our multi-cloud copy data management software platform. The IT Press Tour has a much longer history of bringing innovators like Actifio into the room with the journalists that these IT customers depend on for fresh, accurate information to inform their decisions. We are really looking forward to updating these journalists and sharing our progress and our observations.”

  • Miranda Foster, VP communications, Commvault
    “We’re excited to continue our momentum beyond our wildly successful Commvault GO conference with global press all in one place. This gathering of influencers gives us an opportunity to talk about the ‘new’ Commvault and how we are empowering customers to become ‘Data Ready’ by relentlessly innovating our existing portfolio of solutions to achieve the ease of use, speed, flexibility and choice enterprises need to be successful.”

  • Piyush Mehta, CEO, Data Dynamics
    “Extracting value from data for insight and informed decision making is integral to enterprises competing in the digital era. StorageX is the first platform to view data from a unique container and content perspective. The ability to understand vital meta-data and tying it to key aspects of the data itself, provides enterprises the ability to leverage a single platform that drives compliance, optimization, security, risk mitigation whilst converting data into information. We are excited to sit with leading journalists during the coming IT Press Tour and showcase the value this powerful platform can provide and how it will transform enterprise data management.”

  • Simon Taylor, CEO, HYCU
    “There are few, if any, opportunities in the industry to sit, present and discuss the latest innovations your company is driving with a group of journalists like ITPT. For HYCU, as we continue to evolve our solutions to address the data management and protection needs for multi-cloud users, we know we will get invaluable feedback on what we’re doing. This will ultimately help our customers as they continue their journey to make the most of their cloud, their way, with their control. Kudos to Philippe for the tireless energy and work he puts into making ITPT so successful.”

  • Kiran Bhageshpur, CEO, Igneous
    “As the cost of NAS infrastructure continues to soar, the time is now for data-centric organizations managing petabytes of machine-generated file and object data to leverage public cloud storage. We look forward to the opportunity of engaging with the experts that make up the IT Press Tour to discuss how protecting file and object data at scale has never been easier.”

  • Krishna Subramanian, Cofounder, president and COO, Komprise
    “We are excited to host the global news influencers of the IT Press Tour for the third year in a row! This year is especially important as we have expanded sales globally and have tripled down in EMEA. These events have been invaluable to educating customers that managing storage capacity has to evolve with all this data growth. Know your data before you act has to be the new era of Data Management. We can’t wait to communicate how Komprise is leading this change.”

  • Anand Babu Periasamy, CEO and co-founder, Minio
    “We are delighted to host the IT Press Tour again this year. The tour represents an opportunity for us to engage with the most influential journalists and analysts in the space at a particularly important time. The pace of change for enterprise technology continues to accelerate – driven by performance requirements, Kubernetes and other cloud native influences. As data grows, so do the requirements on how the enterprise stores, accesses and analyzes that data. We look forward to sharing the story of our remarkable growth since we last engaged with the tour – now with more than 280 million Docker pulls of the software, 19,000 GitHub stars and 6,000 members of our Slack community – making us the fastest growing object storage system in the world.”

  • Murli Thirumale, co-founder and CEO, Portworx
    “Against a backdrop of rapidly increasing competition, security threats, and an explosion of data to be leveraged, enterprises are adopting technologies like Kubernetes to meet these challenges head on. As a result, application infrastructure that supports flexible storage options and rock solid DR, backup & recovery and data security become more critical than ever. Enterprises need these capabilities in an environment that permits rapid innovation while keeping escalating cloud costs in check. Portworx Enterprise provides all that and more, giving organizations unmatched speed and reliability for their data in containerized environments while providing a safeguard against skyrocketing costs. We’re excited to join the IT Press tour and looking forward to showcasing the industry’s best solutions for container storage and data management in a modern cloud environment.”

  • Jeff Ready, CEO and co-founder, Scale Computing
    “When ease of use, high availability, and total cost of ownership matters, Scale Computing HC3 is the ideal IT infrastructure platform for distributed enterprises, large retailers, and SMBs alike. The IT Press Tour gives us an ideal forum to share our rapidly evolving story with EMEA IT decision makers.”

  • Mihir Shah, CEO, StorCentric
    “We look forward to discussing StorCentric’s robust and complete storage solutions as well as our growth strategy with our recent company acquisitions. StorCentric has world-class hardware and software storage products, IP, and professional expertise focused on helping customers scale their businesses while accessing, protecting and archiving critical data. IT Press Tour offers an unparalleled opportunity to convey our upcoming technology developments with the leading journalistic voices from across the U.S. and Europe.”
