Intro
What is the on-premises deployment?
The on-premises deployment runs both the Nuclivision Gateway and Nuclarity locally on your hospital's infrastructure. Unlike the cloud-based setup, DICOM studies are processed entirely on-site — no patient data leaves your network. The only outgoing traffic is authentication and operational telemetry (logs, metrics, traces) sent to Nuclivision.
The Gateway receives DICOM images from your PACS or modalities, de-identifies them, and passes them to Nuclarity for processing. Once complete, the processed images are re-identified and stored back to your DICOM archive — all within your local environment.
How does it differ from the cloud deployment?
| Difference | Description |
|---|---|
| Gateway | Runs as Docker Compose services on a Linux server instead of a Windows installer |
| Processing | Studies are processed locally by a Nuclarity instance instead of being sent to the Nuclivision Cloud |
| GPU | An NVIDIA GPU is required on the server to run Nuclarity processing locally |
| Data | No patient data leaves your network — only authentication and operational telemetry are sent to Nuclivision |
Requirements
The on-premises deployment requires a Linux server with a supported NVIDIA GPU. The full stack runs as Docker Compose services. See Technical Requirements for detailed specifications.
