Cloud Cost Visibility for Healthcare & Life Sciences

Imaging archives, genomics pipelines, and EHR-adjacent systems run some of healthcare's most sensitive cloud workloads. Zolix makes their costs clear without asking teams to compromise the controls that protect them.

Where the spend actually hides

Healthcare cloud cost problems rarely live in one obvious place. They emerge where high-volume data, variable compute, and careful access boundaries overlap.

01

Imaging archives frozen in high-cost storage

Radiology departments keep years of MRI, CT, and X-ray studies in expensive storage tiers, even when most have not been accessed in months.

02

Genomics compute with no separate line item

A sequencing run can trigger a burst of compute for hours or days. Without workload-level tracking, that spend simply becomes an unexplained spike.

03

EHR-adjacent infrastructure that resists change

Strict controls are essential around clinical systems, but many cost tools assume the write access and new agents that healthcare IT cannot grant.

04

Research data that outlives the grant

Clinical trial and study data often needs long-term retention after active work ends, quietly collecting storage cost without a clear owner.

Clearer cost decisions

How Zolix responds

Access-Aware Imaging Tiering

Track real access patterns and surface studies that qualify for colder, lower-cost storage, while keeping retention policies untouched.

Separated Research & Clinical Tracking

Give genomics, research, and clinical production infrastructure their own cost view so heavy sequencing weeks are easy to explain.

Zero-Agent, Read-Only by Design

Get visibility without deploying a new agent or requesting write access to systems operating within sensitive clinical environments.

Retention-Compliant Cold Data Detection

Identify long-tail research data that has not been accessed in a defined window, with an audit-friendly path to lower-cost storage.

A safe path to clarity

How we approach it

Visibility first, then a practical path to action within the safeguards your environment already has.

01

Connect safely

Link cloud accounts through read-only access. No agent, write permission, or change to a clinical system is required.

02

Separate the signal

Map costs to imaging, genomics, research, and clinical workloads instead of leaving every charge in one opaque total.

03

Prioritize with confidence

Receive clear, ranked opportunities that respect retention policies and existing compliance controls.

Built for

Hospital systems and health networks managing imaging at scale; life sciences and biotech companies running genomics or drug-discovery compute; health-tech platforms operating alongside EHR systems; and research institutions holding long-tail clinical study data.

FAQ

No. Zolix is read-only and zero-agent by design, and never requires write access to any environment, including those holding patient or clinical data.

Yes. Access patterns are tracked so infrequently accessed studies can be flagged for a lower-cost tier, without changing retention policy.

No. Zolix operates within existing compliance boundaries and does not require new access grants, agents, or exceptions.

Yes. Research and sequencing workloads are tracked apart from clinical production infrastructure, so a busy research week does not disappear inside the overall bill.

Most teams get a first cost visibility report within 24 hours of connecting accounts, with no changes made to live systems.
