Virima to Showcase Trusted Runtime Truth at Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo 2026
ATLANTA, Sept. 29, 2026: Virima, a provider of configuration management database (CMDB), IT discovery, and service mapping solutions, today announced that it will exhibit at Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo, taking place October 19–22, 2026, at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort in Orlando, Florida. At Booth 151, Virima will showcase its platform and its approach to Trusted Runtime Truth for CIOs and other IT executives evaluating the foundations needed for agentic IT.
Agentic AI on the CIO Agenda
Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo will bring together more than 7,000 CIOs and IT executives, more than 140 Gartner analysts, and more than 180 solution providers. Agentic AI is among this year’s featured topics, alongside AI technology and infrastructure, cybersecurity and enterprise resilience, emerging technologies, and operating models.
The symposium’s agentic AI agenda addresses a practical leadership challenge: how to introduce autonomous capabilities with appropriate governance, controls, and oversight. For CIOs exploring these capabilities, the conversation extends beyond what an AI agent can do to the conditions under which an enterprise can trust it to act.
Reliable AI Decisions Depend on Reliable IT Context
That question becomes particularly important when agents operate across an interconnected IT estate. A proposed action may appear straightforward at the individual asset level while carrying consequences for applications, business services, and the people who depend on them.
Consider an agent preparing to make a routine server change. Knowing that the server exists is only the starting point. Assessing the action also requires understanding which applications depend on it, which business services those applications support, who is accountable for them, and what could be disrupted if the change fails. Incomplete or outdated context can leave those consequences hidden until after execution.
Virima will bring this operational perspective to its conversations at the symposium: agentic AI is only as dependable as the ground truth informing its decisions. Enterprises need a reliable understanding of what exists, how it is connected, what has changed, who owns it, and what could be affected before expanding automated action.
Trusted Runtime Truth: The Foundation for Agentic IT
Virima calls this foundation Trusted Runtime Truth. Its approach combines authoritative, reconciled discovery data with human-defined operational context, connecting infrastructure records to service dependencies, ownership, and change history. The aim is to give IT teams and AI-enabled workflows a clearer, explainable view of the environment in which decisions are made.
What Attendees Will See at Booth 151
At Booth 151, attendees will see demonstrations of Virima’s CMDB platform, IT discovery, and ViVID™ service mapping. Together, these capabilities help teams maintain infrastructure information and visualize relationships between assets, applications, and business services. Demonstrations will focus on how that context supports impact assessment and helps teams understand the potential reach of a change or failure.
For executives attending the symposium, this connects the broader discussion of agentic AI to an immediate operational question: does the organization have sufficiently reliable information about its IT environment to support greater autonomy? Establishing that foundation is a practical step toward evaluating where agents can act, where human review remains necessary, and how decisions can be traced to the information behind them.
Meet Virima at Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo 2026
Representing Virima at the event will be Mike Bombard, Salil Kulkarni, Franco Powers, and William Johnson. The team will meet with attendees to discuss infrastructure visibility, service dependencies, and the operational context needed to support agentic IT.
Attendees are invited to visit Virima at Booth 151, October 19–22, to explore Trusted Runtime Truth and see the platform in action.
