cinify gains clarity with IONOS CLOUD
cinify needed a data sovereign foundation for their cloud solution
From PostgreSQL and Kubernetes to a modern healthcare platform in the cloud
Fully integrated into the cinify infrastructure
cinify offers a cloud-based data warehouse that pulls data automatically from APIs and more than 13 sources. This creates daily insights tailored to each practice or healthcare centre. With more than 150 integrations and the expertise of a skilled analyst team, cinify delivers a business intelligence solution built to fit.
Developers deploy the application using Managed Kubernetes, rely on PostgreSQL as a robust database and connect to IONOS CLOUD S3-compatible object storage for compatibility. Large data sets and analytics workloads are processed efficiently and at scale in the IONOS CLOUD. For hosting and integrating the real-time analysis tool StarRocks, they also use Kubernetes and IONOS CLOUD.
Real-time data for 800+ locations
- Entire European infrastructure hosted in the IONOS CLOUD
- Over 64 CPU cores, 340 GB RAM and 4 TB storage managed with strong performance
- No infrastructure administration and no high server costs
‘We run our application and the underlying PostgreSQL database entirely on Managed Kubernetes at IONOS CLOUD. We chose a German provider to process our customers’ sensitive business data at the highest level of security.’
Elias Trewin, CTO and Co-founder, cinify GmbH
Key factors behind the decision
Serverless
Less infrastructure, more focus on innovation
cinify benefits from a serverless design. No maintenance, patches or security updates of their own servers are needed. Stability is handled by the platform, freeing up time for the team to improve their healthcare solution.
Less infrastructure means more productivity. Complex projects are delivered faster and with future-focused efficiency.
Transparent pricing
Cost efficiency with a clear cloud model
Compared to on-premises solutions, the IONOS CLOUD offers a transparent pay-as-you-go model. cinify benefits from low entry costs, no hardware investment and no heavy maintenance. Unlike many providers, IONOS CLOUD combines stable performance with excellent value.
This balance of scalability, performance and reliability makes the IONOS CLOUD a future-proof choice, especially for data-heavy and growing healthcare organisations.
Ready for growth and change
Flexible scalability for every organisation
cinify’s modular cloud platform scales flexibly. It supports single practices as well as large medical centres with multiple sites and adapts to new requirements both functionally and structurally.
With Managed PostgreSQL and Managed Kubernetes, resources can be scaled on demand and data workloads processed efficiently. cinify’s team of analysts ensures continuous optimisation, from standard reporting to automated notifications and tailored process logic.
The result is a high-performance controlling system that grows with healthcare organisations today and tomorrow.
Secure hosting with European cloud sovereignty
Data security with European cloud infrastructure
Handling sensitive healthcare data requires maximum security and compliance. cinify relies on the IONOS CLOUD with Managed PostgreSQL and Managed Kubernetes, operated in Europe, GDPR compliant and independent of US CLOUD Act restrictions.
The platform runs in ISO-certified data centres under European control. Organisations retain full control over their data at all times with the highest technical security and clear legal transparency. A real advantage in a regulated industry.
