Your data. Our racks. Houston and Dallas.
We own and operate our own network and hardware in two Texas datacenters. No reseller, no middleman, and no third-party cloud holding your patient data. That is how we keep it fast, private and always on.

Four ways we host for you

Object storage
S3-compatible storage with DICOM and PACS imaging support, kept only in IHS-controlled facilities.

- PACS/RIS and medical imaging archives
- Lab systems
- Domain controllers and file servers
- Remote access and virtual desktop servers
- Vendor systems such as pharmacy and infusion servers

- Network managed by IHS from edge to rack
IHS-owned hosting vs. a reseller
| IHS | Reseller or broker | |
|---|---|---|
| Who touches the hardware | IHS engineers | A third-party technician |
| Network control | In-house, end to end | Depends on an upstream provider |
| HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI DSS | Built in | Often an add-on |
| Disaster recovery | Houston and Dallas | Often a single region |
| Support | One team with full authority | Stops at the reseller's help desk |
| Managed IT and security | Same IHS team | Separate vendor and contract |
Questions we hear most
Is IHS hosting HIPAA compliant?
Yes. Our cloud platform is HIPAA compliant and SOC 2 Type II audited, and we sign a Business Associate Agreement with every healthcare client.
Where is my data stored?
In IHS-owned infrastructure in Houston and Dallas, Texas. Backups replicate between the two sites, and your data does not leave IHS-controlled facilities.
Can you move our old on-site server to the cloud?
Yes. We plan the migration, move your applications and data, test everything, and cut over outside business hours so your staff is not interrupted.
