Market Trends of Cloud Storage Gateway Industry
Healthcare End-user Industry Segment is Expected to Hold Significant Market Share
- In today's digital age, many healthcare organizations leverage cloud technology to store and access data efficiently. However, not all data is created equal; some require more robust security measures than others. For example, while inventory records may be suitable for public cloud storage, patient data demands a hybrid solution that provides greater security, agility, cost-efficiency, and scalability.
- In February 2023, Integrated Health Information Systems, Singapore's national healthcare technology agency, partnered with Google Cloud and Accenture to promote the development of data-driven applications to offer high-quality and digital-first healthcare experiences. Accenture is assisting in deploying Apigee, Google Cloud's API management platform, which would provide third-party developers access to data and services across iHiS's managed systems to create applications and capabilities.
- Governments worldwide are investing heavily in the healthcare industry to transform it into digital platforms with AI capabilities. For example, the Indian Government is promoting initiatives like the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission. At the same time, 80% of healthcare systems globally are expected to invest more in digital healthcare tools over the next five years.
- Cloud computing companies are developing various platforms tailored to individual client requirements. One such option is industry clouds, which offer healthcare organizations an opportunity to streamline their business processes and stay abreast of the changing digital landscape. Industry clouds serve as business accelerators and not just computing and data storage solutions.
- In June 2023, Hitachi Vantara, the modern infrastructure, data management, and digital solutions subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd., announced a partnership agreement with Cisco. The deals offer Hitachi Vantara into Solution Technology Integrator (STI) and Cisco’s Service Provider partner programs, allowing Hitachi Vantara to integrate Cisco technologies with its storage offerings and position the company as one of the leading data center infrastructure and hybrid cloud-managed services provider.
