Server infrastructure for AgTech

Sized from the workload rather than sold as a plan name: what AgTech actually run, what that needs, and which tier it belongs on.

Recommended builds by size

Three sizes of operation, each sized from an assumed traffic figure.

Small

1–10 people · ~5,000 visits a month


VDS

  • 2 Cores
  • 24 GB RAM
  • 800 GB storage

A single site or team, with traffic that arrives in a predictable working-hours pattern.

Medium

11–50 people · ~50,000 visits a month


VDS

  • 4 Cores
  • 64 GB RAM
  • 3000 GB storage

A growing business running several systems, where an outage now costs real money.

Large

51+ people · ~500,000 visits a month


Dedicated Server

  • 20 Cores
  • 256 GB RAM
  • 4000 GB storage

Multiple sites or a busy platform, with traffic that spikes and an obligation to stay up.

Which tiers suit AgTech

InfrastructureVerdictWhy
Shared Hosting Managed space on a shared server Not this one Shared hosting cannot run background workers, queues or long-lived processes, which a SaaS application depends on.
VPS Flexible virtual infrastructure with full root access Recommended The natural home for an early-stage product: root access, your own runtime, and the ability to resize as you grow.
VDS Virtual server with resources pinned to you alone Recommended Pinned resources give you the predictable latency your customers will hold you to in an SLA.
Dedicated Server An entire physical server, configured to your specification Recommended Right once the database and the application tier are competing for the same memory on a single virtual instance.
Bare Metal Physical compute for sustained, demanding workloads Workable For platforms running their own virtualization, or holding a large working set entirely in memory.

AgTech workloads you can host

Imagery analysis over whole holdings is heavy compute against data that arrives on a satellite's schedule.

  • Sensor ingestion
  • Satellite & imagery analysis
  • Prescription mapping
  • Farm dashboards
  • Machinery integrations

AgTech hosting — FAQs

What server specification do AgTech usually need?
It depends on volume more than on the industry. A medium-sized operation working from about 50,000 visits a month lands around 4 cores, 64 GB of memory and 3000 GB of storage.
How were these figures worked out?
From an assumed traffic level, the number of requests each page makes, and how much data the application keeps warm — then rounded up to a build we actually sell. They are assumptions stated out loud rather than measurements of your business.
Can we change size later?
Yes. Memory, cores and disk can all be raised on the same server, usually within the hour, with no rebuild and no new IP address.
