New all-in-one platform to help businesses develop and deploy at scale with maximum ROI

CHATSWORTH, US – Media OutReach Newswire – 25 March 2026 – Tintri, the innovator in workload-aware, AI-powered data management, and Platform9, the leader in simplifying enterprise private clouds, today announced a strategic partnership to deliver a bundled AI-ready infrastructure solution that streamlines deployment and reduces operational costs. The out-of-the-box offering makes it simple for enterprises to stand up and scale modern AI systems without the complexity of traditional stacks.

The Problem: AI Is Getting Expensive

Running AI to process and analyze data in real time, requires moving enormous amounts of data at extremely high speeds. Existing infrastructure wasn’t built to manage the sheer volume and velocity of data required for on-demand inferencing and ongoing model training, ultimately causing slowdowns and driving up operational costs. Tintri and Platform9 directly addresses these critical bottlenecks in the by cutting the cost per AI transaction, as low as possible.

What’s in the New Platform

The new offering has two main parts:

1. A powerful data center component built on standard server hardware that can run multiple types of virtual machines and containerized applications side-by-side, without resource impacts. Tintri’s patented technology monitors each application individually, making sure the most critical ones always get the resources they need.

2. An edge AI component designed for capturing real-time data to continuously learn and update inference models.

A core component of the platform is Tintri VMstore, which uniquely runs multiple virtualization platforms and Kubernetes (the industry-standard system for managing containerized applications) all within the same platform. This is a significant differentiator: most competing solutions require separate infrastructure for each. Tintri’s patented technology observes each application individually and guarantees real-time resource delivery, even when the system is under heavy load. This eliminates the “noisy neighbor” problem, where resource-intensive applications steal resources and slow down everything else.

Why It Matters

Many companies today have AI running in multiple locations, either in a central data center, as well as out in the field on cameras, sensors, or other devices. Managing all of that separately is complex and expensive. This new platform unifies the entire setup under one management system (provided by Platform9), so IT teams spend less time juggling tools and more time moving their business forward.

Available now through Tintri’s global network of authorized partners, Phil Trickovic, Senior Vice President of Tintri said:“This launch represents a major milestone in our commitment to providing intelligent, autonomous infrastructure. We’re giving customers the exact tools they need to conquer the complexities of modern AI and edge computing, all while driving down operational costs.”

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 25 March 2026 – TrendAI™, the enterprise AI security leader, today introduced TrendAI™ Agentic Governance Gateway, a new security solution engineered to give organizations visibility and control over autonomous agent interactions to strengthen security where systems interact across data, tools, and environments with increasing autonomy.

Rachel Jin, CPBO and Head of TrendAI™: “Tools like OpenClaw show just how powerful and accessible this new model has become. Organizations need to deploy these systems to unlock the next wave of productivity, and many already are, often without centralized oversight. TrendAI™ Agentic Governance Gateway enables this by providing visibility, control, and confidence.”

Traditional cybersecurity is built to protect endpoints, networks, and applications. In contrast, agentic AI systems operate across dynamic chains of interaction where agents, models, APIs, and data continuously exchange information and trigger actions.

Eva Chen, CEO of Trend Micro: “As AI systems become more autonomous, security must evolve from protection to governance. This is the next frontier of cybersecurity and the focus of TrendAI™.”

TrendAI™ Agentic Governance Gateway is a new way to address the emerging security gap created by agentic AI systems, such as OpenClaw, where autonomous agents act across enterprise environments without clear security control points. This was demonstrated last week at NVIDIA GTC, where a fundamentally new attack surface was highlighted – one that traditional security models were not designed to control: Autonomous agentic frameworks, such as OpenClaw, accelerating enterprise adoption of AI systems capable of planning, executing, and coordinating actions across workflows at machine-speed. There has never been a more critical business-level need than understanding and governing how agentic systems behave, and what actions they are taking. The orchestration required to monitor this attack surface created complex, multi-step workflows across enterprise systems until now.

According to Forrester, “AI agents are proliferating across workflows, but security programs built for human-centric architectures fail in agentic environments. These agents operate with dynamic reasoning, ephemeral identities, and goal-driven autonomy, creating unpredictable attack paths. Risks to agentic architectures include intent hijacking and cascading hallucinations that extend beyond confidentiality to integrity and availability. Without guardrails, enterprises risk regulatory violations, financial loss, and disclosure events from agentic security issues.” 1

TrendAI™’s Agentic Governance Gateway allows enterprises to focus on the behavior, interactions, and outcomes of AI systems in real-world environments. TrendAI™ Agentic Governance Gateway is delivered through the TrendAI Vision One™ platform, building on TrendAI™’s existing strengths, including AI-driven analytics to detect anomalous behavior and emerging threats, and a unified approach that correlates context across endpoints, cloud, applications, and AI systems.

TrendAI™’s Agentic Governance Gateway enables enterprises to:

  • Gain visibility into how agents interact across systems
  • Understand the context and intent behind agent communications to identify risky or unintended actions
  • Enforce policy and control over agent-driven actions
  • Introduce human oversight at critical decision points
  • Simulate governance decisions before deployment — previewing the full policy impact without executing it
  • Stage, preview, and roll back governance changes through a managed lifecycle

With these new advanced capabilities, TrendAI™ is enabling organizations to secure the critical interaction layer – the dynamic communication fabric where autonomous systems coordinate, make decisions, and drive enterprise actions. By establishing robust oversight and control at this pivotal layer, TrendAI™ ensures that agentic interactions are visible, governed, and trusted, effectively closing the security gap in agent-driven AI environments.

TrendAI™ is the enterprise business unit of Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704).
