LimsPulse runs as cloud SaaS, in your own private cloud, on-premise behind your firewall, or as a hybrid of these. It is the same product, with the same compliance controls, wherever it runs.

FOUR WAYS TO RUN LIMSPULSE
Cloud, private cloud, on-premise or hybrid. You decide.
LimsPulse is built as containerised services, so the same product runs wherever your policies require. Pick a model now and change it later without re-keying data.
Cloud (SaaS)
Live in days. We run it, you use it.
LimsPulse hosted and operated by Dezen. Each customer gets its own isolated database schemas, so your records are never mixed with anyone else's. Upgrades, backups, monitoring and security patching are handled for you.
Tenant-isolated databases per customer
Managed upgrades, backups and patching
24/7 health monitoring and alerting
Subscribe only to the modules you need
Best for: Labs that want to go live quickly without running servers.
Private cloud
Your cloud account. Your keys. Your region.
The same LimsPulse stack deployed into your own AWS, Azure or Google Cloud account. You keep ownership of the infrastructure, network and encryption keys; we can operate it for you or hand it to your IT team.
Deployed in your AWS, Azure or GCP tenancy
You choose the region for data residency
Fits your VPC, SSO and security controls
Operated by Dezen or by your own IT team
Best for: Enterprises with a cloud-first policy and data-residency rules.
On-premise
Inside your data centre. Data never leaves your network.
LimsPulse installed on your own servers, behind your firewall. It ships as Docker containers with PostgreSQL, so it runs on standard Linux hardware or your virtualisation platform. Email works through your own SMTP server.
Runs on your servers or VMs, behind your firewall
Container-based install on standard Linux
Uses your own SMTP mail server and backups
IQ/OQ support during installation
Best for: Regulated sites that require full physical control of GxP data.
Hybrid
Mix cloud convenience with on-site control.
Combine the models to suit your sites and policies. For example, run some plants in the cloud and keep a regulated site on-premise, or let us manage the application while your database sits on a dedicated server you control.
Cloud and on-premise sites side by side
Dedicated database server for your data
Start in the cloud, move on-premise later
One product and one validation approach everywhere
Best for: Multi-site groups with different rules per site or country.

UNDER THE HOOD
A modern, portable architecture.
LimsPulse is built from independent services that talk through a secure event bus. Each customer's data is held in its own isolated database schemas, and every table keeps a full history of changes. Because everything ships as containers, the same stack runs in our cloud, your cloud or your server room.

Deployment FAQ
What IT and QA teams ask when choosing where LimsPulse runs.
Yes. LimsPulse is available as cloud SaaS hosted by Dezen, in your own private cloud (AWS, Azure or Google Cloud), on-premise in your own data centre, or as a hybrid of these. It is the same product in every case, with the same modules and compliance controls.
