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 Somerset, business by business
These are not the same workload. Sized at the small band, here is what each one actually needs.
| Business | Build | Tier | What decides it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Electricity Companies | 2 vCPU · 32 GB · 800 GB | VDS | Half-hourly meter reads across a customer base is one of the largest ordinary datasets in utilities. |
| Solar Companies | 1 vCPU · 16 GB · 450 GB | VPS | Every installation reports generation continuously, so the estate grows a data stream per customer. |
| Renewable Energy | 2 vCPU · 24 GB · 600 GB | VDS | Generation forecasting runs against weather models, which is scheduled compute rather than user traffic. |
| Oil & Gas | 4 vCPU · 48 GB · 1500 GB | VDS | Seismic archives are measured in terabytes and are consulted rarely but must never be lost. |
| Energy Management | 2 vCPU · 24 GB · 600 GB | VDS | Value comes from comparing this half hour with the same half hour last year, which means keeping all of it. |
| Utility Companies | 2 vCPU · 24 GB · 150 GB | VDS | An outage turns a quiet self-service portal into the busiest thing the company runs, without warning. |
| Smart Grid Technology | 2 vCPU · 32 GB · 1000 GB | VDS | State estimation runs continuously against live telemetry — the grid does not wait for a batch window. |
| Waste Management | 1 vCPU · 16 GB · 300 GB | VPS | Rounds are optimised nightly and every lift is weighed and logged against a compliance trail. |
| Water Management | 2 vCPU · 24 GB · 700 GB | VDS | Leak detection looks for small anomalies in a continuous signal, so history is as important as the current rea... |
| Environmental Consulting | 1 vCPU · 12 GB · 250 GB | VPS | Reports are long-lived evidence, often referenced in planning decisions years afterwards. |
