The Hybrid Multicloud Transition\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s the age of Hybrid Multicloud systems, and the healthcare industry is at a turning point in 2024. Organisations worldwide have slowly been migrating to cloud computing, opting to improve their scalability, agility, and cost efficiency. But this doesn\u2019t mean that there\u2019s a one-size-fits-all approach to cloud computing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Healthcare comes with unique, diverse requirements that have pushed the IT leaders in the industry to opt for hybrid multicloud models. Whether the industry is running AI\/ML workloads and complying with data privacy mandates, or enabling seamless clinical collaborations, these tailored hybrid multicloud models allow optimisations of the right cloud for the right workload.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 2024 Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Index Report<\/a> which surveyed 1,500 IT decision-makers globally shows that the adoption of hybrid multicloud IT operating models has hit an inflexion point in the healthcare sector this year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Deployments that combine private on-premises data centres with two or more public clouds have surged, jumping 10 percentage points year-over-year from just 6% penetration in 2023 to 16% in 2024 among healthcare respondents.<\/span><\/p>\n

This level of implementation exceeds the cross-industry global average of 15%, representing a dramatic turnaround from when healthcare ranked among the lowest of all sectors for hybrid multicloud usage in 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cloud-Smart Philosophies Drive Flexibility<\/span><\/h2>\n

What truly enabled the accelerated hybrid multicloud embrace is the understanding that a holistic, cloud-smart approach provides the flexibility to optimize performance, security, compliance, and cost management based on the unique requirements of each application and dataset.<\/p>\n

Healthcare organisations are slowly starting to subscribe to cloud-smart philosophies of leveraging the best cloud for each workload, rejecting the rigidity of prior cloud platform philosophies.<\/p>\n

This agile approach empowers healthcare IT teams to dynamically shift workloads to the environment best suited for their current needs, whether that is taking advantage of a cloud provider’s unique capabilities, pricing structures, localized data residency policies, or quickly responding to evolving compliance and security requirements.<\/p>\n

AI in Hybrid Multicloud Environments<\/span><\/h2>\n

AI presents both significant opportunities and obstacles for healthcare organisations adopting hybrid multicloud models. The data shows that these organisations see hybrid multicloud models as a catalyst for leveraging cutting-edge AI\/ML capabilities to drive tangible impacts like improved patient outcomes, operating efficiencies, and enhanced clinical decision support.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Multi-Cloud Data Governance and Compliance Pains<\/span><\/h3>\n

While promising major benefits in AI, analytics, and unified patient data views, hybrid multicloud models also bring significant data governance and compliance challenges that healthcare IT teams must navigate. Keeping data secure, compliant and readily accessible proves to be one of the core multicloud challenges facing healthcare IT teams. The most important among these are the difficulties in coordinating data policies and ensuring adherence to regulations like HIPAA and GDPR when information stores and applications reside across disparate private and public cloud environments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Beyond data governance and compliance challenges, healthcare IT teams are dealing with various hybrid multicloud complexities and requirements.<\/p>\n
