DatixWeb: Moving to the Cloud

Colleagues reviewing Datix web dashboard

Why migrate DatixWeb to the Cloud?

Moving DatixWeb to the Cloud reduces the need for costly hardware, installation, and ongoing maintenance that traditional on-premise hosting options require.  

Migrating your system from On-premise Hosted to the Cloud will allow you to take advantage of lower maintenance costs, industry leading data security and a much simpler upgrade process.  

By allowing RLDatix to host your instance of DatixWeb your IT overhead will be significantly reduced while ensuring that a single supplier has responsibility for supporting all aspects of DatixWeb delivery.

What is the difference between On-Premise and a RLDatix Cloud based service?

On-Premise Hosted

An On-Premise DatixWeb system runs off servers held physically at your organisation. Extra resource is then required from your internal IT team to maintain these servers, complete manual upgrades, and ensure the security of the data inside DatixWeb. 

RLDatix Cloud Hosted

A RLDatix Cloud Hosted DatixWeb system runs off cloud servers held by RLDatix away from your own organisation’s premises. RLDatix maintains servers and uses best practice security measures to ensure the servers are available  and secure, which in turn heavily reduces the resources required from your internal IT teams.

I feel certainly there are benefits to being a hosted service. The main one from my experience is Datix support with certain technical features and upgrades to DatixWeb. For example updating html parts of the system, Datix will support and update these sections on your behalf as a hosted service, and obviously know the system so you don’t have to explain the intricacies of the system and what html sections you need updating as you would do with your inhouse IT department.

When On-premise hosted you are reliant on the capacity of your IT department to put your workstream in a queue and are also subject to the system being impacted by other pieces of work within the IT department for example the server that houses the system being changed or updated.
