The last session we had early June during the 62nd edition of The IT Press Tour with Phison presenting the Lonestar case study was a real trigger inviting me to think that I need to talk to the master of this project. And with the help of Phison, we secured the recording with Chris Stott, chairman, CEO and co-founder. We talked about the utopia this kind of project could represent in people's mind or let say the unrealistic idea it crystalizes. In fact, the reality is different they already did a mission so Chris shared lots of informations, what they develop, their partner ecosystem like Phison and why they chose Phison and the Pascari product line, what kind of services they offer, who need this and why they need it, the pricing and business model and of cours we conclude with the calendar of next phases. I hope you'll enjoy this episode, really unique approach. Merci Chris.

The 62nd edition of The IT Press Tour took place early June in San Francisco and Silicon Valley, California.

The event was very good, dense with a very compelling program. We met 9 companies and organizations: Cohesity, DDN, Graid Technology, Hunch, Lucidity, Phison Electronics, PuppyGraph, Tabsdata and the Ultra Link Accelerator Consortium, all having something to say in IT Infrastructure, Cloud, Networking, Security, Data and Storage Management, Big Data and Analytics and of course AI.

It also means that we beat new records with 340 distinct companies and 586 sessions for more 26,000 generated articles since 2010 !!
