This research synthesizes detailed primary data, customer references, and analyst evaluations to provide a transparent, operationally focused view of the market landscape. Technology buyers face an evolving environment where hybrid cloud and multicloud architectures, integrated compliance automation, and AI-enabled operational resilience are paramount. The vendors profiled demonstrate capabilities in enabling regulated clinical workloads while supporting distributed, hybrid environments that meet strict privacy, residency, and disaster recovery obligations.</P><P>"The U.S. healthcare cloud IT infrastructure landscape is defined less by raw platform size and more by operational maturity, compliance automation, and the ability to unify diverse hybrid and edge environments," says Mutaz Shegewi, senior research director, Worldwide Healthcare Provider AI, Platforms, and Technologies, IDC. "Healthcare providers seeking successful cloud modernization must prioritize vendors with proven healthcare-validated reference architectures, comprehensive security frameworks, and truly integrated life-cycle management, particularly as AI workloads become a clinical and operational imperative."</P> IDC MarketScape Wed, 19 Nov 2025 05:00:00 GMT Mutaz Shegewi https://my.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=US52975425&utm_medium=rss_feed&utm_source=alert&utm_campaign=rss_syndication <P>This IDC study evaluates seven worldwide mainframe modernization infrastructure service providers that focus on assisting enterprises in sustaining, updating, and extending their IBM Z mainframe resources. While it offers details on each vendor's capabilities, it is not meant to be a buyer's guide. Instead, this evaluation is intended to help IT buyers narrow down candidates that fit their specific needs as they prepare to take advantage of new mainframe AI capabilities and look to improve and sustain overall mainframe infrastructure performance, cost, and operations to support mission-critical business workloads.</P><P>"While many service providers stand ready to help enterprise customers migrate off mainframes, the set of vendors proactively investing in capabilities to facilitate ongoing mainframe infrastructure modernization is more limited," explains Mary Johnston Turner, research vice president, IDC's Digital Infrastructure Strategies. "This IDC MarketScape is designed to provide organizations with long-term, strategic commitments to mainframe infrastructure to find service provider partners that best match their organizational needs — whether they are seeking project-based support or long-term managed services or mainframe-as-a-service solutions." </P> IDC MarketScape Wed, 19 Nov 2025 05:00:00 GMT Mary Johnston Turner https://my.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=lcUS53937725&utm_medium=rss_feed&utm_source=alert&utm_campaign=rss_syndication IDC Link Wed, 19 Nov 2025 05:00:00 GMT Matthew Flug https://my.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=EUR153909025&utm_medium=rss_feed&utm_source=alert&utm_campaign=rss_syndication <P>This IDC Market Note discusses Cycloid’s latest market movements and prospects for growth.</P> Market Note Wed, 19 Nov 2025 05:00:00 GMT George Mironescu, Jennifer Thomson
