Server infrastructure for Drone Mapping in Epping
There is no single correct server for Drone Mapping; there is a correct one for the workload, the volume and the budget. For a medium Drone Mapping business in Epping that is about 6 Cores, 96 GB of memory and 3000 GB of storage on Dedicated Server.
- ✓ 5 infrastructure tiers
- ✓ Sized for your workload, not a plan name
- ✓ Same price in all 24 locations

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 Drone Mapping size up this way
Working from about 50,000 visits a month and roughly 26,667 requests a day, storage grows by roughly 220 GB a month at this size, which usually decides the build before CPU does; about 64 GB of data needs to stay in memory to keep queries fast; each request costs real computation rather than a cache lookup, so cores matter more here than on a typical site; and a GPU is genuinely used rather than optional, and is quoted separately.
- 0.6 req/sec at peak
- 64 GB working set
- 220 GB/month growth

Which tiers suit Drone Mapping
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 Epping. Round trips are estimated from fibre distance, not measured — the figure your users see depends on where they are.
Drone Mapping in Epping
The closest of our 24 data centres to Epping is Sydney, about 434 miles away. Round-trip time is set by physical distance more than by anything else, so the nearest site is usually the right one.
Epping has a population of about 33,489, which is why the medium build above is the one most likely to fit a Drone Mapping business here — though the other two are a click away if it does not. Local time is Australia/Melbourne, 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.
