MSPs, Take Note: Industry Clouds Will Rule, Too

Cloud environments that target specific organizational needs — think retail, manufacturing, health care, etc. — will find their place in 2023. And MSPs will be vital to deploying and managing them.

“Industry clouds will proliferate. Industry cloud, which has already taken off in some sectors like retail, will expand into other sectors. While telco and health care are slow adopters, industry cloud adoption is heating up in the manufacturing sector.” —Harish Grama, global cloud practice leader, Kyndryl

“MSPs should develop more vertical industry partnerships so that they can develop a specialization that will differentiate from the rest of the public cloud market. The choice of verticals must be both required by the market and sufficiently differentiated to warrant being called an industry cloud.” — Roy Illsley, chief analyst, Omdia
