Deployment comparison
Kashef Cloud and Kashef Local work better together.
Cloud is the company-wide source of truth. Local is the on-site runtime that gives selected branches continuity and analyzer connectivity.
Kashef Cloud
Central control across the laboratory group.
Manage the full product: company dashboard, branches, patients, catalog, operations, results, finance, inventory, quality, users, portals, automation, support, and synchronized nodes.
Kashef Local
Branch continuity on site.
Run a branch-scoped local copy with authorized users, supported workflows, queued synchronization, analyzer connections, encrypted backups, service controls, security checks, and updates.
Side-by-side
Choose where work runs without fragmenting the system.
| Area | Kashef Cloud | Kashef Local |
|---|---|---|
| Primary role | Company-wide laboratory operating system | On-site branch continuity runtime |
| Where it runs | Kashef-managed cloud environment | A dedicated computer at the branch |
| Internet requirement | Required for normal browser access | Supported branch work can continue during interruption |
| Company setup | Source of truth for company, branches, users, catalog, permissions, and device definitions | Receives the branch-scoped synchronized subset |
| Analyzer connectivity | Controls device definitions and mappings | Runs branch-local connection settings and device gateway |
| Synchronization | Publishes authorized branch changes and receives local work | Pushes, pulls, acknowledges, queues, and retries supported changes |
| Backups & maintenance | Managed cloud operations plus laboratory backup workflows | Encrypted local backups, service controls, security checks, updates, and logs |
| Best fit | Every laboratory that needs one central source of truth | Branches that need offline continuity and/or local analyzer connectivity |
Use Cloud alone, or add Local where continuity matters.
Explore Kashef LocalCloud-only is the simplest fit for reliable-connected branches without local analyzer requirements.
Cloud + Local fits branches that must keep supported work available through internet interruptions.
Cloud + Local also provides the on-site runtime used for branch analyzer connectivity.
Map deployment to your real branches.
We will help identify which branches need Local, which analyzers need on-site connectivity, and how synchronization should be rolled out.
