Server infrastructure for 3D Design in Gatineau
Most 3D Design outgrow their first server in one specific place — and it is rarely the one the plan name suggests. For a large 3D Design business in Gatineau that is about 6 Cores, 96 GB of memory and 4000 GB of storage on Dedicated Server.
- ✓ 5 infrastructure tiers
- ✓ Sized for your workload, not a plan name
- ✓ Same price in all 24 locations
Estimated from fibre distance, not measured from Gatineau. Your real figure depends on your connection and route, and lands inside this range.

About 6.2 requests a second at peak, holding roughly 64 GB of working data.
Configure this build →These figures are assumptions stated out loud, not predictions about your business. Memory, cores and disk can all be raised on the same server later, usually within the hour, with no rebuild and no new IP address — so starting one size below the estimate is normally the cheaper mistake.
Why 3D Design size up this way
Working from about 500,000 visits a month and roughly 266,667 requests a day, storage grows by roughly 480 GB a month at this size, which usually decides the build before CPU does; each request costs real computation rather than a cache lookup, so cores matter more here than on a typical site; the software is Windows-based, which sets a floor on cores, memory and disk before the workload is considered; and a GPU is genuinely used rather than optional, and is quoted separately.
- 6.2 req/sec at peak
- 64 GB working set

Which tiers suit 3D Design
Including the ones that do not, and why — that is usually the more useful half.
| Infrastructure | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Shared Hosting Managed space on a shared server | Not this one | Shared hosting serves websites; it cannot present a Windows desktop to work on. |
| VPS Flexible virtual infrastructure with full root access | Workable | Adequate for light remote desktop work — email, documents, a line-of-business application. |
| VDS Virtual server with resources pinned to you alone | Recommended | Guaranteed CPU and memory are what make a remote desktop feel like a local one rather than a slideshow. |
| Dedicated Server An entire physical server, configured to your specification | Recommended | The right tier for CAD, BIM and rendering, where the whole machine is in use for hours at a stretch. |
| Bare Metal Physical compute for sustained, demanding workloads | Recommended | For teams running several workstations on one physical host, with GPUs available on request. |
3D Design workloads you can host
Rendering is where the hours go, and a GPU changes the working day rather than the benchmark.
- Modelling workstations
- Render queue
- Texture & material libraries
- Asset versioning
- Client previews
Where your server runs
All 24 locations cost the same, so pick whichever sits closest to the people who will actually use the server.
Gatineau is closest to Toronto. Every marker costs the same per month.

3D Design in Gatineau
The closest of our 24 data centres to Gatineau is Toronto, about 221 miles away. Every kilometre between your users and the server is latency you cannot optimise away in software.
Gatineau has a population of about 300,045, which is why the large build above is the one most likely to fit a 3D Design business here — though the other two are a click away if it does not. Local time is America/Toronto, so routine maintenance and backups are scheduled against your overnight rather than ours.
Data stays in the jurisdiction you choose, which matters if you are working to PIPEDA. Pricing is quoted in CAD, and the figure is the same wherever the machine physically sits.

Gatineau sits in Quebec, and every one of our 24 locations costs the same — so the only thing worth optimising is which of them your users are closest to. At the large size assumed above, that is roughly 266,667 requests a day crossing that link.
