With quotes from some participating companies for this coming edition:

• Cezary Dubnicki, Founder, 9LivesData
  “We are excited to introduce our new scale-out backup storage product, high9stor, at The IT Press Tour event. Our goal is to provide solutions that not only tackle the current challenges in enterprise storage but also drive future improvements in efficiency and resilience. In today’s competitive business environment, reducing the TCO has become a crucial objective in enterprise storage deployments. To achieve this, high9stor combines several features: high storage density, global deduplication, consistent operation with high storage utilization, and support for several generations of the product in one system. Our scale-out architecture guarantees uninterrupted system operation with growing data volumes, failures, upgrades, and planned maintenance. Looking ahead, we are committed to further reducing TCO by optimizing on-site energy consumption.”

• Dr. Steffen Klewitz, Founder and CEO, Ewigbyte
  “At ewigbyte, we’re creating a new class of cold-data infrastructure – storage engineered to endure for millennia, immune to technological obsolescence, environmental decay, and modern attack surfaces. Our glass-based medium is intrinsically stable, tamper-resistant, climate-proof and consumes no energy once written. It offers the durability of an archive, the integrity of a vault, and the sustainability the digital world desperately needs – using only pure, non-toxic glass that enables full participation in a circular economy. This is how we secure the world’s most valuable knowledge, permanently. We are thrilled to join The IT Press Tour for the first time. It’s a rare forum where deep-tech storage innovation meets a truly expert global press audience, and Philippe Nicolas has built an environment where groundbreaking ideas actually get understood. We’re excited to share what we’re building.”
