Business Continuity

Protect your PACS from downtime. Modernize your entire IT.

Cloud-native resilience keeps imaging online when infrastructure fails. Most customers start here — then expand to the full Sirona platform over time.

How Sirona is Different

Cloud-native resilience, not bolted-on backup.

Auto-failover and rapid rollback aren't add-ons — they're foundational to how Sirona runs. Imaging stays online even when primary infrastructure fails. Corrupted data and failed updates roll back to the last known good state in minutes. Monitoring is continuous, so problems surface before they become outages.

Built-in protection

Every component designed for availability and rapid recovery.

Auto-Failover

Imaging continues automatically when primary systems fail. No manual intervention. No downtime window.

Rapid Rollback

Corrupted data or failed updates? Roll back to the last known good state in minutes, not hours.

Real-Time Monitoring

System health at a glance. Alerts surface before problems become outages.

Containerized Architecture

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

Feature Flags

Deploy with on-off switches. Test in production safely. Roll out without affecting stability.

DICOM Routing Intelligence

Smart routing ensures imaging reaches the right destination, even during infrastructure transitions.

Built for how radiologists actually work

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 eliminates the conditions that create outages in the first place.

Automatic failover to standby infrastructure

Zero-impact monitoring and health checks

Multi-AZ data redundancy within region

Rapid rollback to the last known-good state

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.

Migrate to the full Sirona platform when ready

Unified infrastructure across every imaging need

Operations

Operational resilience you can count on

Resilience isn't just technical. Teams need the visibility and automation to keep imaging workflows moving without firefighting. Sirona gives both — dashboards, audit logs, and predictive alerts that run themselves.

Transparent health dashboards for all stakeholders

Automated recovery reduces manual intervention

Comprehensive audit logs for compliance and forensics

Predictive alerts prevent issues before they escalate

The Modernization Wedge

The modernization wedge

BC is how most customers enter the Sirona platform. It's a de-risked entry point — a managed resilience layer running alongside existing systems. Customers who start with BC typically expand into reporting, AI, and worklist over time, on infrastructure that's already proven itself.

RadOS: Purpose Built for Reliability and Performance at Scale

From inception, Sirona was architected to be as reliable and performant as software can be. Hear from our technical advisor, Jeff Queisser (Co-Founder & EVP of Engineering at NYSE:BOX) about how RadOS was architected to raise the bar on software reliability in radiology.

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. When a failover happens, clinicians barely notice.

How quickly can you failover if something fails?

Failover is automatic across availability zones within the region, and monitoring is continuous, so problems surface before they cause downtime. 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. Most customers start with BC protecting existing investments, then migrate to Sirona's full platform over time.

What about DICOM compliance and data integrity during failover?

All DICOM traffic is validated in real time. The architecture ensures no images are lost or duplicated during failover. Full compliance with medical imaging standards and regulations (HIPAA, HL7) is 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.
