Open Telekom Cloud vs Unomed Cloud PACS

Elastic Compute and AI/ML Capabilities

Open Telekom Cloud provides Elastic Cloud Servers in various configurations, from general-purpose instances to GPU-accelerated ones for AI and ML tasks. ModelArts offers an end-to-end platform for building, training, and deploying models. These features support demanding applications like AI training and high-performance computing, with self-service scaling via APIs. Availability zones across multiple data centers ensure resilience.

Comprehensive Storage and Database Services

Object Storage handles unlimited scalable data with S3-compatible APIs. Elastic Volume Service delivers block storage attachable to servers, while Scalable File Service manages shared filesystems. Databases include Relational Database Service for MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MS SQL, plus Document Database Service. These options cater to large-scale data storage, analytics, and IoT backends, with automated backups and high durability.

Robust Networking and Security

Networking includes Virtual Private Cloud for isolated environments, Elastic Load Balancer for traffic distribution, VPN, and Direct Connect. Security tools feature Anti-DDoS protection, Web Application Firewall, and Key Management Service for encryption keys. Management aids like Cloud Eye monitoring and Cloud Trace auditing provide visibility and compliance tracking, essential for regulated industries.

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.
