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.
Which tiers suit Energy & Utility Companies
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 | An ERP or practice-management system needs a database tuned to its own workload, which a shared platform will not allow. |
| VPS Flexible virtual infrastructure with full root access | Workable | Enough for a small team, though the working set of a records system tends to outgrow a modest instance quickly. |
| VDS Virtual server with resources pinned to you alone | Recommended | Guaranteed memory is what keeps the database in cache, which is the single biggest factor in how fast these systems feel. |
| Dedicated Server An entire physical server, configured to your specification | Recommended | The usual answer: a records system rewards a large, uncontended memory pool and consistent disk latency. |
| Bare Metal Physical compute for sustained, demanding workloads | Workable | For large deployments, or where the database and application tiers are virtualized onto one physical host. |

Energy & Utilities in Beverley, business by business
These are not the same workload. Sized at the medium band, here is what each one actually needs.
| Business | Build | Tier | What decides it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Electricity Companies | 6 vCPU · 96 GB · 3000 GB | Dedicated Server | Half-hourly meter reads across a customer base is one of the largest ordinary datasets in utilities. |
| Solar Companies | 4 vCPU · 48 GB · 1500 GB | VDS | Every installation reports generation continuously, so the estate grows a data stream per customer. |
| Renewable Energy | 4 vCPU · 64 GB · 2000 GB | VDS | Generation forecasting runs against weather models, which is scheduled compute rather than user traffic. |
| Oil & Gas | 8 vCPU · 128 GB · 4000 GB | Dedicated Server | Seismic archives are measured in terabytes and are consulted rarely but must never be lost. |
| Energy Management | 4 vCPU · 64 GB · 2000 GB | VDS | Value comes from comparing this half hour with the same half hour last year, which means keeping all of it. |
| Utility Companies | 4 vCPU · 64 GB · 350 GB | VDS | An outage turns a quiet self-service portal into the busiest thing the company runs, without warning. |
| Smart Grid Technology | 6 vCPU · 96 GB · 3000 GB | Dedicated Server | State estimation runs continuously against live telemetry — the grid does not wait for a batch window. |
| Waste Management | 2 vCPU · 32 GB · 800 GB | VDS | Rounds are optimised nightly and every lift is weighed and logged against a compliance trail. |
| Water Management | 4 vCPU · 64 GB · 2000 GB | VDS | Leak detection looks for small anomalies in a continuous signal, so history is as important as the current rea... |
| Environmental Consulting | 2 vCPU · 32 GB · 700 GB | VDS | Reports are long-lived evidence, often referenced in planning decisions years afterwards. |
