Market Trends of Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) Industry
The Healthcare Industry is Expected to Witness Growth
- The healthcare industry is growing in demand for data center infrastructure management, as it helps to improve the cost, quality, and delivery of medical services by updating hospital information centers with new business models. The HIPPA Act, the General Data Protection Regulation, and several further compulsory provisions require that healthcare professionals be held responsible for patient data. The DCIM shall monitor user access and ensure the workload infrastructure is properly installed and secured.
- Moreover, data centers are a secure hub for electronic medical records, allowing easy access to critical patient information. In order to ensure comprehensive care, health information exchange platforms further facilitate the sharing of secure data between different healthcare facilities. For example, in the last 90 days, from the fourth quarter of 2023, according to Ministero della Salute, the Italian region of Emilia-Romagna opted for electronic health records, with around 81% of the population choosing to do so.
- In addition, DCIM enables healthcare providers to keep and process vast amounts of information on patients to analyze it with insight. These analyses help to identify trends, patterns, and possible outbreaks and increase decision-making and patient outcomes.
- Connected medical devices, driven by IoT, transmit patient data for real-time monitoring. Data centers provide the infrastructure needed for managing and processing this data, enabling patients to make more informed decisions on their medical care and assisting with the effective management of pharmacies and inventory systems to ensure the availability of medicines, prevent shortages, and optimize supply chains.
