DEPLOYMENT
Deploy Beak LIMS on the infrastructure that makes sense for you.
Most laboratories start on our fully managed cloud. Where regulation, connectivity or policy call for something else, we scope an on-premise or offline edge deployment with you.
- Standard offering
Managed cloud
Beak Insights provisions, hosts and administers Beak LIMS for you. Your team signs in from a browser; we handle servers, backups, security patches and monitoring.
Best for: Laboratories that want to focus on testing, not infrastructure.
Available on: All plans
- Enterprise
Customer-hosted and on-premise
Beak LIMS runs on your own servers or in your organization's cloud account. Networking, database, backup, access and support responsibilities are agreed in writing.
Best for: Organizations with data-residency rules or an in-house IT team.
Available on: Enterprise
- Enterprise, qualified sites
Offline edge with central sync
A local installation keeps a site working when connectivity drops and synchronises with a central instance when it returns. Conflict handling and recovery are assessed per site.
Best for: Remote or intermittently connected laboratories.

Deployment questions
Where is the managed cloud hosted?
The hosting location is agreed in your contract. We discuss data-residency requirements during discovery.
How long until we go live?
It depends on the size of your test catalogue, the number of instruments and whether you are migrating data. We set a timeline together after discovery.
Can we move from cloud to on-premise later?
Yes. Your data can be exported and moved under a scoped migration.
