Beyond silos Multicloud file storage now

India's enterprises are syncing cloud, Al, and edge to tame exploding data. Multicloud isn't just tech, it's strategy. As compliance tightens and insights go real-time, data isn't stored anymore, it's mobilized, secured, and put to work

In an increasingly data-driven economy, enterprises in India are turning to multicloud strategies to meet diverse business demands. With the exponential growth of unstructured data across sectors, organizations are looking for ways to manage, access, and protect information seamlessly across cloud platforms. This is not just about storage, it's about building resilient, scalable, and compliant data infrastructures.

According to Gartner, more than 50% of enterprises will use industry cloud platforms by 2028 to drive business innovation and agility. Here are five key trends redefining the multicloud storage landscape in India:

1. Hybrid and multicloud integration: Breaking down data silos

Many Indian organizations adopting hybrid or multicloud models often encounter data silos that hinder real-time data access and limit analytics capabilities. The rise of integrated multicloud architectures is helping break these silos, enabling a unified view of data across disparate environments.

This shift is particularly crucial in India, where regulatory mandates such as the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act and data localization requirements from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) demand local data storage. Sectors like banking and fintech are centralizing their data storage strategies to meet compliance, while maintaining performance and flexibility across platforms.

2. Cloud-native file storage: Driving scalability and agility
