Virtualisation

Hybrid industrial cloud adoption by manufacturers to double by 2023

Via ABI Research Media Releases

Aug 1, 2018

Oyster Bay, New York - 01 Aug 2018: The virtualization of business-critical infrastructure is transforming the production and distribution of goods and services throughout the supply chain as industrial organizations shift focus from private to public and ultimately hybrid cloud deployments that connect and integrate on-premise resources with cloud resources. According to a new report by ABI Research , a market-foresight advisory firm providing strategic guidance on the most compelling transformative technologies, hybrid industrial cloud adoption will more than double over the next five years at a respectable 21.1% CAGR.

Initial IoT deployments in industrial markets reflect the sector’s Machine to Machine (M2M) heritage: private cloud Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS). IaaS served as a solid starting point for many organizations that wanted the benefit of cloud scale, but with minimal interruption to normal Information Technology (IT) operations; the industrial cloud Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) model extended the functional capabilities of on-premise IaaS solutions by shifting commodity tasks (capacity planning, software maintenance, patching) to Cloud Service Providers (CSPs); Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) took it a step farther but in the form of managed services.

“Manufacturing and industrial organizations were not born from the same digital core as the people they employ or the products they produce,” said Ryan Martin, Principal Analyst at ABI Research. “But they also harness some of the greatest potential thanks to massive amounts of untapped plant and process log data. And this is exactly what companies like Amazon, Microsoft, and IBM are after. Harvested with the right analytical tools and guidance, these data streams can deliver value greater than the sum of their parts.”

The factory floor’s historical predisposition toward on-premise solutions has been supplanted by a campus-led approach underscored by a more recent push to connect HMI, SCADA, and control networks to higher-level enterprise systems, as well as the cloud. However, getting to the point where all these moving pieces come together in a real-world, production environment can be messy. Many Operational Technology (OT) devices come up short in key areas such as interoperability and security due to the prevalence of proprietary protocols in the legacy M2M market that the IoT grew out of.

“Most OT systems depend on infrastructure with lifetimes measured in decades, while IT systems can be upgraded frequently at little or no cost,” concludes Martin. “As a result, industrial and manufacturing markets typically employ a staged technology integration strategy that favors suppliers whose hardware, software, and services can be acquired incrementally, with minimal disruption to existing operations. Companies like GE refer to this as ‘minimum viable change’."

These findings are from ABI Research’s Industrial Cloud report. This report is part of the company’s Smart Manufacturing research service, which includes research, data, and Executive Foresights.
