Raffles Place, Singapore
Server infrastructure for Bioinformatics in Raffles Place
The right server for Bioinformatics is decided by the work it has to do, not by the size of the plan you happen to land on. For a large Bioinformatics business in Raffles Place that is about 28 Cores, 448 GB of memory and 4000 GB of storage on Bare Metal.
- ✓ 5 infrastructure tiers
- ✓ Sized for your workload, not a plan name
- ✓ Same price in all 24 locations
Estimated from fibre distance, not measured from Raffles Place. Your real figure depends on your connection and route, and lands inside this range.

51+ people · ~500,000 visits a month

per month · Bare Metal
- 28 Cores
- 448 GB RAM
- 4000 GB storage
- Managed
- GPU on request
About 6.2 requests a second at peak, holding roughly 384 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 Bioinformatics 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; about 384 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.
- 6.2 req/sec at peak
- 384 GB working set

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. |
Bioinformatics workloads you can host
Reference databases are held in memory to be useful, and they are large before any of your own data arrives.
- Analysis pipelines
- Reference databases
- Notebook environments
- Job queues
- Result visualisation
Where your server runs
All 24 locations cost the same, so pick whichever sits closest to the people who will actually use the server.
Raffles Place has a data centre of its own. Every marker costs the same per month.

Bioinformatics in Raffles Place
The closest of our 24 data centres to Raffles Place is Singapore, about 5 miles away. The price is the same in all 24 locations, so distance is the only variable worth optimising.
Raffles Place has a population of about 5,638,700, which is why the large 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 Asia/Singapore, 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 PDPA. Pricing is quoted in SGD, and the figure is the same wherever the machine physically sits.
Network reach from Raffles Place
Estimated from fibre distance rather than measured, and stated as a range. Your own access network decides the rest.
| Data centre | Distance from Raffles Place | Estimated round trip |

| Singaporeapac | In your metro | 1–2 ms |
| Hong Kongapac | 1,610 miles | 39–78 ms |
| Kolkataapac | 1,801 miles | 43–87 ms |
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.
