“Historically, manufacturers have built out their infrastructure to include expensive data housing in the form of on-premises servers,” explained James Iversen, Industrial & Manufacturing Technologies Industry Analyst at ABI Research. “The large initial upfront cost of purchasing, setting up, and maintaining these servers is a selling point for cloud manufacturing providers who beat them out in costs. With low data storage prices, manufacturers who switch to a cloud-based system can see up to 60% reduction in overhead costs relating to data storage.”
