Cloud-Hosted Matrix Gemini™ LIMS
LIMS Computing Infrastructure Without the Hassle
Cloud-Hosted Matrix Gemini LIMS gives laboratories the flexibility of a secure, scalable cloud deployment while preserving the configurability and control for which Matrix Gemini LIMS is known.
Designed for laboratories that want to reduce upfront infrastructure investment, relieve pressure on internal IT teams, and scale as requirements evolve, Cloud Hosted Matrix Gemini LIMS provides a dedicated virtual environment, secure data hosting, managed infrastructure, regular backups, disaster recovery options, and web-based access from anywhere.
With Instem-managed hosting, laboratories can benefit from the agility of the cloud without being forced into the limitations of a shared, multi-tenant SaaS model.
What is Cloud-Hosted Matrix Gemini LIMS?
Unlike multi-tenant SaaS systems that may limit configurability, each hosted Matrix Gemini LIMS system exists within its own dedicated virtual environment. This means every laboratory can maintain a system configured to its unique functional requirements, with its own database and maintenance schedule.
Cloud Hosted Matrix Gemini LIMS is ideal for organizations that want the benefits of cloud infrastructure while retaining control over validation, upgrades, configuration, security, and long-term scalability.
Key Benefits of Cloud-Hosted Matrix Gemini LIMS
Reduces IT Burden
Instem manages the cloud infrastructure, helping laboratories reduce the need to purchase, maintain, patch, and support their own LIMS server environment.
Keeps Your LIMS Configurable
Each customer system is hosted in its own virtual environment, allowing Matrix Gemini LIMS to be tailored to the laboratory’s specific workflows rather than forcing users into a shared, one-size-fits-all model.
Dedicated and Secure Environment
Your LIMS data is stored in its own database within your virtual environment, reducing concerns around cross-organization data access and avoiding the shared-database model common in some SaaS systems.
Flexible Maintenance and Upgrade Timing
Maintenance windows can be scheduled at a mutually convenient time, so customers are not forced to upgrade simply because other organizations are doing so.
Scales as Your Laboratory Grows
Full machine virtualization enables additional memory and processing capacity to be added as requirements change, helping laboratories expand without major infrastructure disruption.
Supports Business Continuity
Daily backups are included as standard, with options for more granular backups, longer retention, and disaster recovery models such as total environment failover.
Kernfunktionen/Module
Secure Cloud LIMS
Cloud Hosted Matrix Gemini LIMS includes built-in security features, with data center facilities managed and audited to SOC 2 standards. At the application level, security is supported through encryption, role-based permissions, and individual passwords.
Dedicated Virtual Environment
Every customer receives an individually provisioned hosted environment, allowing the LIMS to remain independent, configurable, and aligned to each laboratory’s processes.
Web Access from Anywhere
Users access Matrix Gemini LIMS through the standard web application, enabling authorized users to work through a browser while maintaining centralized control over the hosted system.
Instem-Managed Infrastructure
Instem manages the hosted environment, including server resources, system monitoring, maintenance updates, and performance management.
Regular Backups
Automated daily backups are taken by default and retained for 7 days, with options to extend both the backup frequency and the retention period.
Disaster Recovery Options
Additional disaster recovery services can be tailored to business requirements, including the option for a secondary disaster recovery data center and hot-standby capability.
Geographic Hosting Options
Worldwide location options are available for customers with requirements to keep data within a defined geography.
Instrument and External System Interfaces
Laboratory instruments and external IT systems can be connected to the cloud-hosted LIMS via secure FTP links or secure IP interfaces, with requirements assessed on a case-by-case basis.
Why Choose Cloud-Hosted Matrix Gemini LIMS?
Many laboratories want to move away from the cost and complexity of maintaining on-premise infrastructure, but still need a LIMS that can be configured to fit their specific processes. Cloud Hosted Matrix Gemini LIMS is designed to meet both needs.
Unlike traditional SaaS models that may share application, database, or infrastructure components across customers, the hosted Matrix Gemini approach gives each customer an independent virtual environment. This helps preserve configuration flexibility, data separation, upgrade control, and validation confidence.
For laboratories with compliance, security, scalability, or limited internal IT capacity concerns, Cloud Hosted Matrix Gemini LIMS provides a secure, managed foundation for laboratory operations while allowing teams to stay focused on science rather than infrastructure.
