LabServer: The ELN Suite, Running in Your Lab
A self-contained appliance that brings the full platform to your local network for instrument integration and data sovereignty.
What LabServer Does
LabServer puts the complete ELN Suite on a physical appliance inside your facility. Your team gets the same electronic lab notebook, inventory management, workflow tools, and reporting capabilities as the cloud version, but everything runs on your local network under your direct control.
For labs with strict data sovereignty requirements, direct instrument integration needs, or restricted network environments, LabServer provides a deployment path that keeps every byte of data within your walls.
Self-Contained Server Appliance
LabServer is a complete, pre-configured appliance that connects to your local network and runs the full ELN Suite. There is no cloud dependency for day-to-day operations. Every application, every workflow, and every piece of data lives on hardware in your facility.
All Data Stored Locally
Experiments, documents, instrument files, and audit trails are stored on the LabServer appliance itself. Your data never leaves your building unless you choose to send it. This satisfies the strictest data sovereignty and data residency requirements.
Direct Instrument Connectivity
Connect lab instruments directly to LabServer over your local network using standard protocols. Data flows from instruments to your ELN without passing through external networks, reducing latency and eliminating external exposure of raw instrument output.
Air-Gapped and Hybrid Operation
LabServer operates fully in air-gapped environments with no internet connection required. For labs that prefer a hybrid approach, LabServer can optionally sync with ELabELN Cloud for offsite backup or cross-site collaboration.
How LabServer Works
LabServer is designed to be straightforward to deploy and operate. The LabLynx team handles the initial configuration, and your IT staff connects it to your network. From that point forward, your team accesses the ELN Suite through a standard web browser.
Provisioned by LabLynx
The LabLynx team configures your LabServer appliance before it arrives. Software is pre-installed, security settings are applied, and your initial user accounts are ready. Deployment is a matter of connecting the appliance to your network.
Connects to Your Local Network
LabServer joins your existing lab network like any other device. Your team accesses the ELN Suite through a web browser on their workstations, tablets, or laptops. No special client software is needed beyond a modern browser.
Instrument Connections via Standard Protocols
Instruments that support FTP, network file shares, or API connections can push data directly to LabServer. The appliance acts as a local data collection point, organizing incoming files and making them available inside the ELN immediately.
Managed Updates and Local Backup
The LabLynx team provides update packages that can be applied on your schedule. Backups run locally to storage you control, and the update process is designed to work in both connected and air-gapped environments.
When You Need LabServer
If your organization has data sovereignty requirements that prevent research data from leaving your facility, LabServer is the deployment option that satisfies those constraints completely. Every piece of data stays on hardware you physically control, in a location you choose.
Labs that rely on direct instrument connections benefit from LabServer's local network presence. Instruments push data directly to the appliance without traversing external networks, which means faster transfers, lower latency, and no exposure of raw data outside your building.
For environments that operate on restricted or air-gapped networks, LabServer provides full ELN Suite functionality without requiring an internet connection. Updates can be applied manually, and the appliance runs independently for as long as needed.
