Growing Demand for Sector Specific Cloud Infrastructure
A prominent trend in the market is the escalating demand for sector-specific cloud infrastructure tailored to meet the compliance and operational requirements of distinct industries. Moreover, government entities, financial institutions, and healthcare providers increasingly prefer cloud environments that are not only scalable but also aligned with their regulatory frameworks. The community cloud model allows multiple organizations with similar concerns around security, privacy, and compliance to share cloud services within a confined ecosystem. This facilitates the exchange of data and resources while maintaining necessary restrictions. For example, healthcare organizations can securely manage patient data in compliance with health regulations. Notably, on October 24, 2023, PureHealth launched PureNet, a dedicated healthcare cloud platform designed to digitalize and streamline operations for healthcare providers of all sizes through advanced cloud computing technologies. The platform offers cost-effective, plug-and-play solutions that digitize patient records, automate administrative tasks, and enable real-time data sharing and app integration, enhancing patient-centric care and operational efficiency. Initially deployed at Sheikh Khalifa Specialty Hospital in Ras Al Khaimah, PureNet aligns with the UAE’s ‘We the UAE 2031’ vision and is positioned for expansion across the UAE and globally. Apart from this, the preference for cloud environments with localized governance and industry-specific controls is particularly pronounced in the UAE, where regulatory authorities emphasize data sovereignty and information security. Furthermore, the availability of such tailored infrastructure significantly boosts trust in cloud migration and enhances digital transformation across sectors with critical workloads.
Integration of Advanced Security Protocols and Identity Management
The growing integration of advanced security protocols and centralized identity management systems is positively impacting the UAE community cloud market growth. As per industry reports, ransomware attacks in the UAE saw a significant increase of 32% in 2024 compared to the previous year. As cyber threats become more sophisticated, especially targeting critical infrastructure and sensitive government data, organizations are investing in robust cloud environments that provide enhanced protection against breaches and unauthorized access. Community cloud providers are responding by embedding advanced threat intelligence systems, automated incident response protocols, and continuous vulnerability assessments within their service offerings. Besides, the adoption of zero-trust security frameworks is gaining traction, requiring verification at every stage of digital interaction to prevent lateral movement of threats within the network. Moreover, identity and access management (IAM) frameworks are becoming more centralized and role-based, enabling administrators to define granular access policies across multiple participating entities. This is particularly important in sectors where data confidentiality and traceability are paramount. By enabling consistent policy enforcement and authentication mechanisms, community clouds offer a high level of control that surpasses traditional cloud setups. This trend reflects the UAE’s proactive approach to cybersecurity and the need for resilient infrastructure that meets the evolving requirements of digital risk mitigation.
