Itential Named a Representative Vendor in the 2024 Gartner® Market Guide for Infrastructure Automation & Orchestration Tools

Published

Report highlights how infrastructure, operations, and cloud management leaders can scale automation beyond siloed implementations and increase agility by investing in orchestration tooling.

ATLANTA, Feb. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Itential, the leading SaaS platform for hybrid cloud network orchestration, today announced it has been named a Representative Vendor in the 2024 Gartner® Market Guide for Infrastructure Automation and Orchestration Tools, a new report focused on helping infrastructure and operations leaders understand the market and why infrastructure orchestration tooling is a critical component for transforming their operations.

Itential provides a platform that orchestrates automation domains, simplifying the delivery of infrastructure services to application developers – how, when, and where they need them – and update the infrastructure in real-time to ensure that it aligns with security and business needs.

According to Gartner, orchestration is often an overlooked resource among infrastructure and operations (I&O) teams, who may view it as overly complex, fear the loss of control, or feel daunted by the high skill barrier to effectively implement it. However, the growing integration of cloud services, DevOps, and platform engineering is driving a need for broader infrastructure automation and orchestration to deliver services that satisfy user needs. I&O leaders must transition from merely automating tasks to orchestrating complex workflows that enable the creation of standardized, repeatable, scalable processes to accelerate and optimize infrastructure delivery, mitigate risk, and enable autonomy.

“Customers and the market are experiencing a maturation in both expectations and capabilities as we evolve from domain specific automation to infrastructure orchestration and this Gartner Market Guide validates the progression towards an integrated platform approach to managing modern infrastructure,” said Chris Wade, CTO Itential. “Itential provides a platform that orchestrates automation domains, simplifying the delivery of infrastructure services to application developers – how, when, and where they need them – and update the infrastructure in real-time to ensure that it aligns with security and business needs.”

For I&O leaders to move beyond siloed or tactical automation implementations, Gartner recommends evaluating infrastructure orchestration platforms that provide these capabilities:

Orchestration engine able to execute complex delivery and operational workflows.Catalog of integrations to common infrastructure and other tools.Supplied and user-generated library of templates defined as code.Environments/deployments described and managed as code.Self-service portal for end-user interaction.API access for deployment of environments/templates.API for invocation of workflows.Extensible ecosystem to integrate additional security, testing and cost optimization tools.Deployment of tooling as on-premises, cloud, or SaaS.

The world’s largest companies use Itential’s automation and orchestration products to deliver services faster, simplify network and infrastructure change management, and maintain security with standardized configuration and compliance. Itential helps to simplify and accelerate the journey from manual IT processes to self-service automation, operationalizing infrastructure orchestration at scale. Itential’s low-code orchestration platform simplifies the creation of automation workflows across all of infrastructure through its patented-approach to seamlessly integrating with any IT system and network or cloud infrastructure technology, enabling teams to rapidly build and deploy end-to-end orchestrations without having to re-train or re-skill.

Greenzie releases 2025 Annual Safety Report, documenting multi-year safety performance at commercial scale

Published

on

By

The data shows zero lost-time injuries, zero OSHA medical attentions and zero human near-misses across real-world operation

ATLANTA, April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Greenzie, the technology platform powering commercial autonomy across multiple OEMs, today shared multi-year safety data from real-world commercial operation, documenting more than 150,000 autonomous miles with zero lost-time injuries, zero OSHA medical attentions and zero human near-misses. The data is published in Greenzie’s 2025 Annual Safety Report, available at greenzie.com/safety.

The report is based on extensive operational data spanning more than 5.4 billion square feet of turf mowed, 68,000+ hours of autonomous mowing and more than 50,000 operator days, the equivalent of 265 mowing seasons.

“Greenzie is helping define safety in autonomous landscape operations, and transparency is a critical part of that,” said Steve Bush, chief operating officer of Greenzie. “These results show that commercial autonomy is operating safely at meaningful scale in the field. Transparency matters because as this category matures, real-world data helps build confidence in what responsible deployment looks like.”

The report’s findings are particularly significant in the context of the U.S. landscaping industry, which employs roughly 1.3 million workers and experiences a higher-than-average rate of workplace accidents compared to other fields. Greenzie’s multi-year operating data shows that autonomy is not theoretical; it is already being deployed consistently and performing safely at scale.

“Greenzie Powered Autonomy™ has been validated through years of sustained use in the field,” Bush said. “That level of real-world performance reinforces both the reliability of our platform and the broader readiness of commercial autonomy.”

Greenzie attributes this performance to a disciplined safety approach that includes robust perception, tested operating standards and continuous validation in real-world commercial environments.

Founded in 2018, Greenzie is the technology platform powering commercial autonomy. Created to solve the landscape industry’s labor and productivity challenges, Greenzie works with leading equipment manufacturers to deliver the software, navigation and safety systems that enable mowing and other outdoor power equipment to operate autonomously in real-world commercial environments. Today, Greenzie’s platform is running on hundreds of machines in active use, helping manufacturers bring autonomy to market and allowing operators to get more done with limited labor—moving autonomy from early experimentation to everyday operations.
