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/ -- , the leading SaaS platform for hybrid cloud network orchestration, today announced it has been named a Representative Vendor in the , 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.

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.
