Choose how the processor is shared
Every class ships the same hardware menu and the same Ubuntu Server 24.04 (LTS) 64-bit image. What changes is how the processor is shared — and the price moves with it.
Availability
Budget friendly
Reasonable for internal tools and staging where a slow minute costs nothing.
$276.75USD
per month
ConfigureGeneral purpose
The usual choice
Predictable processor time for the application and its database side by side.
$287.75USD
per month
ConfigureDedicated
High performance
Dedicated cores for build servers, background jobs and anything with a queue that must not fall behind.
$298.75USD
per month
ConfigureBurstable
Development only
Only for development boxes. Throttles under sustained load, so it is a poor fit for anything customer-facing.
$0.5729USD
per hour — booked for a window, not subscribed
Book by the hourRaise memory, cores or disk on the same server as you grow — by hand, usually within the hour, without a migration.
Departments are not one customer
A university is a collection of groups with different needs and different budgets. A separate server per project is usually simpler and cheaper than negotiating shared capacity centrally.
One server per group
A research group gets root on its own machine rather than a ticket queue for a change on a shared one.
Term-time peaks
Memory, cores and disk go up on the same server for an intake or a submission deadline, and back down afterwards.
Predictable billing
A fixed monthly cost per machine, quoted in advance — easier to put on a grant or a departmental budget than usage-based cloud billing.
Where your server runs
All 24 locations cost the same, so pick whichever sits closest to the people who will actually use the server. Choose the region closest to the customers using the product day to day, or to the database it talks to if that lives elsewhere.
