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 Bioinformatics size up this way

Working from about 5,000 visits a month and roughly 2,667 requests a day, storage grows by roughly 42 GB a month at this size, which usually decides the build before CPU does; about 34 GB of data needs to stay in memory to keep queries fast; and each request costs real computation rather than a cache lookup, so cores matter more here than on a typical site.

  • 0.1 req/sec at peak
  • 33.6 GB working set
  • 42 GB/month growth
  • Linux

Which tiers suit Bioinformatics

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 There is no version of this workload that fits on shared hosting.
VPS Flexible virtual infrastructure with full root access Workable Useful for development, notebooks and light inference, but not for training or sustained compute.
VDS Virtual server with resources pinned to you alone Workable Suits CPU-bound preprocessing and data preparation with a guaranteed share of the machine.
Dedicated Server An entire physical server, configured to your specification Recommended Production compute wants the whole machine, with memory bandwidth that is not being shared.
Bare Metal Physical compute for sustained, demanding workloads Recommended Training, inference and simulation belong on physical hardware, with GPUs available on request.

Distances are from Otara. Round trips are estimated from fibre distance, not measured — the figure your users see depends on where they are.

Bioinformatics in Otara

The closest of our 24 data centres to Otara is Sydney, about 1,346 miles away. Choosing the closest data centre is the cheapest performance improvement available, and it costs nothing extra.

Otara has a population of about 24,420, which is why the small build above is the one most likely to fit a Bioinformatics business here — though the other two are a click away if it does not. Local time is Pacific/Auckland, 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 2020. Pricing is quoted in NZD, and the figure is the same wherever the machine physically sits.

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 small size assumed above, that is roughly 2,667 requests a day crossing that link.

Bioinformatics hosting in Otara — FAQs

What size server does a Bioinformatics business in Otara, Auckland need?
Working from about 5,000 visits a month, we would start at 4 cores, 48 GB of memory and 700 GB of storage on VDS. That is an assumption about traffic rather than a measurement of yours — if you know your real figures, the estimate changes with them.
Where would the server for my Otara, Auckland business actually run?
The closest of our 24 data centres to Otara, Auckland is , about 2,166 km away. You can choose any of the others at the same price — the server is wherever suits your users, not wherever you happen to be.
Is a VPS enough for Bioinformatics, or do we need a dedicated server?
Production compute wants the whole machine, with memory bandwidth that is not being shared. You can move up a tier later on the same data and the same IP address.
Can you host analysis pipelines for us?
Yes — analysis pipelines is exactly the kind of workload these builds are sized for, alongside reference databases and notebook environments. Reference databases are held in memory to be useful, and they are large before any of your own data arrives.
Can we start smaller and grow?
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. Starting one size below your estimate is normally the cheaper mistake.
