QBench is a cloud-based Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) designed to help laboratories manage samples, workflows, data, inventory, reporting, quality processes, and client interactions in one platform.
Labs use QBench to manage laboratory operations from order placement and sample processing through results and automated reporting. The platform is highly configurable, allowing laboratories to build workflows, define custom data fields, and automate processes around the way their lab already operates.
QBench also helps laboratories reduce manual work by connecting instruments, software, and other systems through file parsers and a robust API. These integrations can automate data transfer between systems, reducing repetitive data entry and the risk of transcription errors. Labs can connect QBench to business intelligence tools, including Tableau, Power BI, Domo, and Looker, via REST API.
Key QBench capabilities include:
Sample and workflow management
Configurable laboratory workflows and custom data fields
Workflow automation
Instrument and system integrations
File parsing and API connectivity
Inventory management
Client portal access
Automated reporting
Analytics and operational insights
Business intelligence integrations with Tableau, Power BI, Domo, and Looker via REST API
Integrated Quality Management System (QMS) capabilities
Unlike LIMS platforms that require extensive custom development to accommodate laboratory processes, QBench is designed to be configurable and adaptable as workflows change. Laboratories can modify processes, fields, and automations without relying heavily on custom code.
QBench is cloud-based, giving laboratory teams secure access to their LIMS while bringing laboratory data, workflows, automation, quality management, and reporting together within a centralized platform.
QBench also supports customers with a team that includes former bench scientists who understand laboratory workflows and can provide guidance throughout implementation and ongoing use.

Bacula Enterprise delivers backup and recovery for demanding enterprise, high-performance computing (HPC), defense, government and research environments. Developed by Switzerland-based Bacula Systems, it protects physical, virtual, container, database, SaaS and cloud workloads through one centrally managed platform.
Keep backup data and recovery operations under your control. Bacula supports fully on-premises deployment without mandatory cloud control planes, call-home licensing or continuous internet connectivity. Organizations can retain control over storage location, infrastructure, encryption keys and recovery procedures to support data sovereignty and operational independence.
Build layered ransomware resilience with physically air-gapped tape and offline copies, immutable storage options, encryption, multi-factor authentication, granular access controls and file integrity verification. Security capabilities can be configured around defense, critical infrastructure and other sensitive environments.
For petabyte-scale HPC and research datasets, Bacula offers HPC Accelerator, parallel backup processing and integrations with Lustre, GPFS and ZFS. Protect large file populations while combining disk, tape libraries, object storage and cloud targets. Licensing is not based on protected data volume.
Virtualization and cloud VM coverage includes VMware vSphere/ESXi, Hyper-V, Proxmox, Nutanix AHV, XenServer, XCP-ng, KVM, QEMU, Libvirt, Red Hat Virtualization, OpenStack, Amazon EC2 and Azure VMs. Container protection covers Kubernetes, Red Hat OpenShift and Docker.
Database protection includes Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Percona for MySQL, MariaDB, SAP HANA, Sybase ASE, IBM Db2, MongoDB, Hadoop HDFS and InterSystems IRIS, plus Amazon RDS integration. Additional workloads include Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace.
Automated scheduling, monitoring, reporting, deduplication, compression and BWeb web-based administration help teams manage distributed infrastructure. Recovery options include files, application data, virtual machines and bare metal recovery for supported systems.
Built on an open-source core, Bacula Enterprise combines open source foundation with enterprise-only plugins, security capabilities, management tools and commercial support.
