RiT Tech recognized as a Sample Vendor for IT Sustainability Management in Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Infrastructure Strategy and Data Center Infrastructure Technologies

We are delighted to share that RiT Tech has been recognized again as a Sample Vendor for IT Sustainability Management in the Gartner Hype Cycle™ for Infrastructure Strategy, 2025 and the Gartner Hype Cycle™ for Data Center Infrastructure Technologies, 2025. 

To us, this recognition comes at a crucial time. As AI workloads explode across the industry, so does their energy footprint. Organizations are feeling the pressure from multiple directions; stricter regulations like the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and Energy Efficiency Directive (EED), demanding corporate boards, and the simple reality that unsustainable infrastructure practices are becoming a business liability. 

How can organizations deliver transparent, integrated, and sustainable infrastructure management? 

Our XpedITe Sustainability Reporting Module directly addresses these challenges by dynamically monitoring and reporting on all ISO/IEC 30134 standards. This means organizations can accurately track and report on critical metrics like Carbon Usage Effectiveness (CUE), Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE), and Renewable Energy Factor (REF) – the numbers that actually matter for EU sustainability compliance. 

In our opinion, what makes this recognition particularly meaningful to us is that Gartner highlighted that ‘new IT monitoring and management tools are emerging to offer simple, clear and transparent ways to both measure and implement sustainable IT strategies.’ That's exactly what we've built XpedITe to do, powered by our Universal Infrastructure Intelligent Management (UIIM) methodology. 

Gartner highlights a common market obstacle: “typically, they are limited to metrics on primary hardware assets, such as PCs, servers and storage systems, but lack visibility on other technologies, such as monitors, Internet of Things sensors and applications”. Our Universal Intelligent Infrastructure Management (UIIM) methodology was designed to solve this. It creates a unified intelligent layer connecting not just primary servers, but also IT systems, environmental sensors, power infrastructure, and automation for true, real-time visibility across the entire infrastructure stack. We believe, this integrated approach directly answers a key Gartner user recommendation to ‘prioritize solutions that can provide recommendations and automation rather than just monitoring’. It moves beyond simple dashboards to enable predictive maintenance, automated IMAC processes, and contextual analysis that identifies inefficiencies before they become problems. The result? More efficient operations, better compliance, and infrastructure that supports business goals instead of hindering them. 

A mature solution for an 'adolescent' market 

Gartner assesses the IT Sustainability Management market's maturity as 'Adolescent,' meaning “maturing technology capabilities and process understanding uptake beyond early adopters”. In this environment, surface-level metrics won't be enough. 

Organizations need platforms that deliver genuine insight, seamless integration, and intelligent control across their entire operational environment. 

That's the future we're building with XpedITe and UIIM. We believe this recognition from Gartner validates that we're on the right track – and ready to help organizations navigate whatever comes next in the evolving landscape of sustainable infrastructure management.
