Business Continuity

Protect your PACS. Modernize your IT.

Cloud-native resilience keeps imaging online when on-prem infrastructure fails, with every component designed for availability and rapid recovery. Some customers start here, then expand to the full Sirona platform.

How Sirona is Different

Cloud-native resilience, not bolted-on backup.

Automatic failover and rapid rollback aren't add-ons; they're foundational to how Sirona runs. Imaging is designed to stay online when a primary system fails. Failed updates roll back to the last known-good release in minutes. Monitoring is continuous, so problems surface early.

Built-in protection

Every component designed for availability and rapid recovery.

Auto-Failover

When an availability zone fails, traffic moves to healthy zones automatically. No manual intervention.

Rapid Rollback

Failed update? Roll back to the last known-good release in minutes, not hours.

Continuous Monitoring

Sirona's operations team watches platform health around the clock, so issues surface early.

Repeatable Deployments

Portable, repeatable deployments. Update or migrate without dependency surprises.

Staged Rollouts

New capabilities roll out gradually and can be switched off instantly, so a release never puts reading at risk.

DICOM Routing

Routing rules keep imaging flowing to the right destination, including during infrastructure transitions.

Built to keep reading through failure

Resilience that keeps clinicians reading — and a path to the full platform when you're ready.

Downtime Protection

Downtime protection that costs less than risk

Every hour your PACS is down costs revenue, delays care, and erodes staff confidence. Sirona's cloud-native architecture removes the single points of failure behind most on-premises outages.

Automatic failover to standby infrastructure

Continuous monitoring and health checks

Multi-AZ data redundancy within region

Rapid rollback of failed updates to the last known-good release

Path to Platform

Your path to full platform modernization

Business continuity isn't an end — it's a beginning. Once imaging is protected and running on cloud infrastructure, adopting Sirona's reporter, AI, worklist, and advanced workflows happens on infrastructure you already trust.

Operations

Operational resilience you can count on

Resilience isn't just technical. Teams need to keep imaging workflows moving without firefighting. Sirona's operations team monitors platform health continuously and handles recovery, so your team is not the one on the pager.

Proactive customer notification during incidents

Automated recovery reduces manual intervention

Audit logging of changes to clinical information

Continuous monitoring surfaces issues early

Where customers start

Start with resilience. Expand when you're ready.

BC is a de-risked entry point: a managed resilience layer running alongside existing systems. Customers who start here can expand into reporting, AI, and worklist on infrastructure that has already proven itself.

FAQs

What's the difference between backup and business continuity?

Backup saves data; business continuity keeps operations running. Sirona's approach combines both: we protect your data and keep your imaging workflows online, so that when infrastructure fails, clinicians keep reading.

How quickly do you fail over when something breaks?

Failover is automatic across availability zones within the region, and monitoring is continuous. Recovery targets are shared per deployment rather than as a blanket SLA.

Does your business continuity solution integrate with existing PACS?

Yes. Sirona BC works with your current imaging infrastructure as a managed service layer. Customers can start with BC protecting existing investments, then move to Sirona's full platform over time.

What about DICOM compliance and data integrity during failover?

DICOM traffic is validated as it arrives, and studies are reconciled after a failover so that nothing is dropped or double-filed. HIPAA safeguards and DICOM and HL7 conformance are maintained throughout.

How do you handle redundancy?

Data replicates across multiple availability zones within the region, so a single data-center failure doesn't take imaging offline. Cross-region options are on the roadmap.

Can we upgrade to your full platform later?

Yes. Business continuity is a stand-alone subscription, and it's the foundation for adopting the full Sirona platform. As your needs evolve, reporting, AI, and advanced workflows layer on without rebuilding infrastructure.
