OVHcloud vs Unomed Cloud PACS

Anti-DDoS Protection and Vast Network Capacity

Every OVHcloud service includes unlimited anti-DDoS mitigation, scrubbing attacks across layers 3, 4, and 7 without downtime fees. The global network exceeds 100 Tbit/s, ensuring low latency and high throughput. No charges apply to outbound traffic, unlike some rivals, which helps control costs for data-intensive apps like streaming or backups.

Sustainability with Low PUE and Resource Reuse

OVHcloud reports a power usage effectiveness (PUE) of 1.28 across its facilities, beating industry averages. It uses 7 times less water than peers and runs on 100% low-carbon energy sources. Servers get repurposed for secondary uses before recycling, targeting zero landfill waste by 2025. This approach reduces operational costs passed to customers.

OpenStack Public Cloud and Reversibility

Built on OpenStack, the public cloud supports pay-as-you-go pricing with API access for automation. Private cloud options avoid lock-in through data export tools and standard formats. Customers retain full control, with no data mining for ads. Features like vRack private networking connect services seamlessly across regions.

Cloud DICOM archive (VNA-style)

Central archive for studies from in-house modalities and external institutes, with DICOM export so you can take the archive with you. Storage is billed as you grow; long-term statutory retention remains the customer's duty under Unomed's terms.

Zero-footprint browser viewer (OHIF default)

Open studies in the browser with nothing installed on the workstation. OHIF is the default; other viewers can be connected on request. Unomed's GTCs state the standard viewer is not authorised for diagnostic reporting.

PACS inbox with assisted patient matching

Inbound studies land in an inbox; Unomed suggests the matching patient (including fuzzy name matches) and a human confirms. Useful when institutes send studies that do not already carry a clean order from your record.

Share via messenger and guest links

Send studies to colleagues, referrers and patients through Unomed messenger. Recipients without an account get a time-limited guest link; registered users keep the thread in case chat instead of CDs or ad-hoc portals.

Cloud Connector, Radiology Bridge and Medical API

Connect DICOM modalities like a second destination printer, autoroute from an existing institute PACS via Radiology Bridge, or integrate via DICOMweb/Medical API. Keeps on-site PACS investments when you only need outbound routing to Unomed practices.

Overlay on existing practice software

Opens studies from the patient record in supported web-based Swiss practice systems without replacing the PIS. Vendor lists 16+ systems with several official partners; desktop-only software needs a feasibility discussion.
