Managed private cloud for clinic software is a deployment model where your clinic's data runs on dedicated cloud infrastructure — isolated from all other tenants at the network, compute, and storage level. Unlike a standard SaaS clinic platform where all clinics share the same database cluster, a private cloud deployment gives your clinic its own database instance, its own encryption keys, its own network boundaries, and its own compliance audit trail. The infrastructure is managed by the software vendor — you get the isolation of on-premise without the IT overhead.
| Dimension | Shared SaaS | Managed Private Cloud | On-Premise |
|---|---|---|---|
| Data isolation | Logical (row-level in shared DB) | Physical (dedicated DB instance) | Physical (your server) |
| Indian data residency | Depends on vendor | ✅ Guaranteed | ✅ Guaranteed (your site) |
| IT requirement | Zero | Zero (vendor-managed) | High (dedicated IT staff) |
| Uptime SLA | Shared pool SLA | Dedicated SLA (99.9%+) | Depends on your hardware |
| Cost structure | Per-clinic subscription | Per-clinic + infrastructure premium | Perpetual licence + hardware + IT |
| Encryption keys | Vendor-managed | Customer-managed keys option | Your responsibility |
| DPDPA fit | Good for most clinics | Best for significant data fiduciaries | Good (data never leaves premises) |
Under DPDPA 2023, MeitY will designate certain organisations as "significant data fiduciaries" based on volume of personal data processed, sensitivity of data, and risk to data principals. IVF clinic chains and multi-speciality hospital networks processing health data at scale will likely qualify. Significant data fiduciaries face additional obligations including data localisation (data must remain in India), data protection impact assessments, and a mandatory Data Protection Officer. A managed private cloud deployment on Indian infrastructure directly satisfies the data localisation requirement.
Managed private cloud for clinic software typically costs 2–4x the standard SaaS subscription, reflecting dedicated infrastructure. CuraVerto Plus starts at ₹50,000/year for single-clinic private cloud. This compares to ₹4–12 lakh for equivalent on-premise infrastructure (hardware, IT support, maintenance) over a 5-year window.
Managed private cloud for clinic software is a deployment where your clinic's data runs on dedicated infrastructure — isolated from other clinics at the network, compute, and storage level. The infrastructure is managed by the software vendor, so you get the data isolation of an on-premise server without needing in-house IT staff.
No — most clinics can comply with DPDPA on a standard shared SaaS platform if the vendor has implemented proper logical isolation, encryption, and consent management. A private cloud is specifically relevant for organisations that become "significant data fiduciaries" under DPDPA — typically large clinic networks and hospital chains processing health data at scale.
On-premise software runs on a physical server at your clinic that your IT team manages. Private cloud runs on dedicated infrastructure in a data centre managed by the vendor, accessed over the internet. Private cloud requires no in-clinic hardware or IT staff, is automatically backed up and updated, and can be accessed from any location.
Yes — managed private cloud typically costs 2–4x the standard SaaS subscription because of dedicated infrastructure. For CuraVerto, the Plus plan (private cloud) starts at ₹50,000/year versus ₹25,000/year for the Pro plan. Over a 5-year window, this is still significantly cheaper than on-premise alternatives including hardware, IT support, and maintenance.
CuraVerto Plus includes a dedicated private cloud deployment on Indian infrastructure — physically isolated, DPDPA-ready, and managed so your IT team stays focused on clinical systems.
