Introduction to Medical Hosting
Cloud hosting is transforming the way medical practices manage their patient data, practice management software, and electronic health records. By leveraging a private cloud server, medical offices can securely store and access sensitive medical data from anywhere, at any time. This technology provides a flexible and scalable solution that adapts to the unique needs of each practice, whether you’re a solo practitioner or part of a large healthcare group. With cloud servers, your medical software and records are hosted in a secure environment, reducing the risk of downtime and data breaches. This allows healthcare professionals to focus on delivering high-quality patient care, while the complexities of IT management, security, and maintenance are handled by trusted cloud hosting experts. As a result, cloud hosting has become the preferred, cost-effective solution for modern medical practices seeking to stay up to date with the latest technology and best practices in healthcare.
Benefits of a Private Cloud Server
Cloud hosting offers a wide range of benefits for medical practices looking to streamline their operations and enhance patient care. By moving practice management software and medical data to the cloud, practices gain greater flexibility and scalability, allowing them to easily adjust resources as their needs change. Cloud services eliminate the need for onsite servers, reducing the risk of data loss, security breaches, and costly downtime. With automatic backups and disaster recovery built in, your patient data is always protected and up to date. Staff members can securely access practice software and electronic health records from any location with an internet connection, making it easy to support multiple locations or remote work. This level of accessibility and reliability not only improves efficiency but also ensures that your practice can continue to deliver exceptional care, no matter where your team is located. Cloud hosting is a secure, cost-effective solution that supports the growth and success of modern medical practices.
Accessibility to Hosted Healthcare
All team members have individual security, thereby only allowing certain staff members to access this system from certain places. You can also configure different levels of access within the system whereby certain staff have access to certain programs, files or records.
In the case of medical staff leaving your healthcare organization, there is just one account to suspend or terminate and the user is completely locked out of all your entire backend and frontend systems. Instantly removing the user from accessing any of the electronic medical records or other sensitive data. Removing any doubt, that access to all sensitive information and patient access has been discontinued.
Medical Hosting Cloud Security
The PIP cloud computing platform provides robust security measures to protect data, which is crucial when working from various locations. Cloud providers invest heavily in security technologies and practices, such as encryption, multi-factor authentication, and regular security updates, to safeguard data against breaches and unauthorized access. This level of security ensures that sensitive information remains protected, giving employees and organizations peace of mind when accessing data from different locations.
All PIP hosted medical solutions are hosted in one of our private clouds. These clouds are secured in world class, datacentres across Australia, ensuring the safety and security of your confidential patient records and patient data.

Only limited high end engineering staff have ANY access to your IT infrastructure. Our IT engineers have no access to your servers or patient data unless you employ PIP in active management of your servers. You are more than welcome to look after your servers yourself or have your current IT company maintain them.
All servers are equipped with the latest antivirus and anti-trojan software agents that continuously monitor application servers in real-time to prevent users from infecting their workspaces. These agents receive automatic updates and remain active at all times. This protocol ensures that the interval between the detection of a new virus and the implementation of your updates is minimized.
Best practices, now recommends that any access to your cloud servers are via a multifactor authentication system. We use and sell Cisco’s Duo multifactor authentication system. This service provides the ideal choice for simplicity to prevent unauthorized access. Many industry regulations are now forcing healthcare professionals to utilise at minimum 2-Factor Authentication for all data security.

What is the cost for Medical Cloud?
Investing in secure cloud hosting for your medical practice is both a smart technology decision and a cost‑effective one. Instead of the large, upfront expense of purchasing and maintaining an on‑site server, you pay a predictable monthly, per‑user fee for a fully managed cloud service. This gives you access to the latest technology, robust security measures, and expert support—without needing to hire additional IT staff or arrange extra training.
How pricing works
Costs are determined by the number of active users each month. The monthly access fee is comprehensive and typically includes:
- All underlying hardware costs and any infrastructure licences required for the cloud platform
- Microsoft licences, including Microsoft Office, Microsoft Office 365 and Microsoft SQL
- Access to the server farm, security systems, and backups
- Ongoing maintenance, updates, and support
This straightforward model is flexible: you only pay for active staff in a given month. As your practice grows or contracts, you can scale up or down easily, so your IT spend tracks the current phase of your business.
Beyond predictable costs, a medical cloud environment helps reduce downtime and data‑loss risk, keeps you compliant and secure, and lets your team focus on patient care. You also gain access to advanced features and regular updates without separate procurement cycles.
A note on cost trends
While cloud services were once more expensive than on‑premises setups, recent inflationary pressures on hardware, power, and facilities mean that private cloud hosting is now often more cost‑effective than deploying a brand‑new on‑prem server environment.
Bottom line
By partnering with a trusted cloud services provider, your medical practice can enjoy a secure, reliable, and cost‑effective hosting solution—ensuring your data is protected and your operations run smoothly, with costs that scale precisely to your needs.
