With quotes from some participating companies for this coming edition:

• Bhooshan Thakar, SVP and GM, InfoScale
  “Edge computing is no longer a niche use case; it has become core infrastructure for industries that depend on real-time operations and AI-driven outcomes. These environments demand systems that can operate autonomously, adapt to change, and remain reliable with minimal hands-on management, often far from centralized IT teams. Scale Computing was designed for this reality, delivering resilient edge infrastructure that supports AI at the edge and scales effortlessly across thousands of locations. The IT Press Tour is an opportunity to explore how AI is accelerating the shift from experimental edge deployments to production-scale operations, and what it takes to manage them efficiently over the long term.”

• Mark Cree, President and COO, Scale Computing

  “The IT Press Tour gives us a platform to address the biggest challenge facing IT teams right now: finding a real alternative to VMware. Many options reduce licensing costs but leave infrastructure fragmented and harder to run. VergeOS was designed to solve that problem by unifying compute, storage, networking, and data protection into a single operating system. This gives organizations a practical VMware exit that preserves automation, reduces operational effort, and extends the life of existing infrastructure.”
