Server infrastructure for 3D Design in Strathfield
What 3D Design actually need from a server is predictable performance under load, and enough headroom to grow into. For a medium 3D Design business in Strathfield that is about 2 Cores, 24 GB of memory and 2000 GB of storage on VDS.

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 50,000 visits a month and roughly 26,667 requests a day, storage grows by roughly 120 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.
- 0.6 req/sec at peak

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.
Strathfield has a data centre of its own. Every marker costs the same per month.

3D Design in Strathfield
The closest of our 24 data centres to Strathfield is Sydney, about 7 miles away. Round-trip time is set by physical distance more than by anything else, so the nearest site is usually the right one.
Strathfield has a population of about 25,769, which is why the medium 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 Australia/Sydney, 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 the Privacy Act 1988. Pricing is quoted in AUD, and the figure is the same wherever the machine physically sits.
