Server infrastructure for Document Management in Singapore
Most Document Management outgrow their first server in one specific place — and it is rarely the one the plan name suggests. For a large Document Management business in Singapore that is about 16 Cores, 256 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 Singapore. Your real figure depends on your connection and route, and lands inside this range.

Three sizes of business, each sized from an assumed traffic figure rather than a measured one. If you know your own numbers, tell us and the estimate changes with them.

per month · Dedicated Server
- 16 Cores
- 256 GB RAM
- 4000 GB storage
- Managed
About 40.5 requests a second at peak, holding roughly 224 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 Document Management size up this way
Working from about 500,000 visits a month and roughly 1,400,000 requests a day, storage grows by roughly 400 GB a month at this size, which usually decides the build before CPU does; about 224 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.
- 40.5 req/sec at peak
- 224 GB working set
- 400 GB/month growth

Which tiers suit Document Management
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 gives you no control over where data sits or who else is on the machine, which regulated records cannot accept. |
| VPS Flexible virtual infrastructure with full root access | Workable | Workable for a small practice, with the caveat that you own the patching and audit trail unless you add management. |
| VDS Virtual server with resources pinned to you alone | Recommended | Isolated, pinned resources in a data centre you choose, which is usually what a data-residency obligation actually requires. |
| Dedicated Server An entire physical server, configured to your specification | Recommended | A single-tenant physical machine is the clearest answer to "who else can reach this data" — nobody. |
| Bare Metal Physical compute for sustained, demanding workloads | Workable | For larger estates running several regulated systems on hardware you control end to end. |
Document Management workloads you can host
The search index is often larger than the documents, and OCR is the CPU cost of making an archive findable.
- Version control & check-in
- Full-text search index
- Retention policies
- Access audit
- OCR pipeline
Where your server runs
All 24 locations cost the same, so pick whichever sits closest to the people who will actually use the server.
Singapore has a data centre of its own. Every marker costs the same per month.

Document Management in Singapore
We work with businesses across Orchard, Raffles Place, Marina Bay, Jurong and Tampines. Singapore is a high-trust, mobile-first market where polished UX and speed convert.
The closest of our 24 data centres to Singapore is Singapore, about 5 miles away. Choosing the closest data centre is the cheapest performance improvement available, and it costs nothing extra.
Singapore has a population of about 5,638,700, which is why the large build above is the one most likely to fit a Document Management 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 Singapore
Estimated from fibre distance rather than measured, and stated as a range. Your own access network decides the rest.

| 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 1,400,000 requests a day crossing that link.
