Server infrastructure for Drone Mapping in Victoria
Infrastructure for Drone Mapping is a question of matching the machine to the application, then putting it near the people using it. For a large Drone Mapping business in Victoria that is about 20 Cores, 320 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 Victoria. Your real figure depends on your connection and route, and lands inside this range.

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 500,000 visits a month and roughly 266,667 requests a day, storage grows by roughly 880 GB a month at this size, which usually decides the build before CPU does; about 256 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.
- 6.2 req/sec at peak
- 256 GB working set
- 880 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 Victoria. Round trips are estimated from fibre distance, not measured — the figure your users see depends on where they are.
Drone Mapping in Victoria
The closest of our 24 data centres to Victoria is Seattle, about 74 miles away. Round-trip time is set by physical distance more than by anything else, so the nearest site is usually the right one.
Victoria has a population of about 289,625, which is why the large 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 America/Vancouver, 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 PIPEDA. Pricing is quoted in CAD, and the figure is the same wherever the machine physically sits.
Network reach from Victoria

Victoria sits in British Columbia, and 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.
