When a server lives in a side room

Shelf server? Move your imaging study servers to a private cloud

You’ve seen it: a small server by a mop and bucket. One crash halts the queue and cancels exams. We run your imaging and archive servers on a client-dedicated private platform with controlled access, backup and monitoring.

This isn’t a server room. It’s a shelf in a utility space: heat and dust, a door left open, and anyone can reach it. No power backup. When something goes down, there’s no one to call right away and nowhere to fall back to. Critical imaging servers belong on a managed private platform with backup, monitoring and controlled access.

What stops

When the server drops, what actually happens

  • RoomThis isn’t a server room A utility shelf takes heat and dust. Instead, your servers run on a private, client-dedicated platform.
  • PowerNo power backup One drop means manual recovery. In the private cloud, backup and monitoring are included to detect issues and handle them.
  • AccessControlled access Staff can connect from the clinic, home or another site per permissions, with two-step verification for remote access.
  • CoordinationFewer handoffs The same team manages the server and the surrounding network, so incidents aren’t tossed between vendors.
  • ScalingGrow without replacing Add storage, memory and services as needed, without swapping the entire platform.
  • NetworkProtection and control Traffic is governed by pfSense from Netgate, enforcing policy and fencing the network around critical systems.
Honesty

Not every system needs to move

Some clinical systems should stay close to the modality for performance or vendor requirements. We say that upfront. What moves are the study and archive servers, and we manage the connections to your equipment.

We don’t service the devices themselves. We connect them: clean networking, correct DICOM addressing, an updated worklist, and coordination with the vendor when needed. That way, what stays on-site works smoothly with what moved to the cloud.

Private cloud and managed serviceThis page focuses on imaging study servers. A broader overview of private cloud as a managed service is on the SrvIT website.
