Server infrastructure for Engineering Design in Denver
Sizing infrastructure for Engineering Design starts with the workload, then works back to cores, memory and disk. For a large Engineering Design business in Denver 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 Denver. Your real figure depends on your connection and route, and lands inside this range.

About 6.2 requests a second at peak, holding roughly 256 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 Engineering Design size up this way
Working from about 500,000 visits a month and roughly 266,667 requests a day, storage grows by roughly 280 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 the software is Windows-based, which sets a floor on cores, memory and disk before the workload is considered.
- 6.2 req/sec at peak
- 256 GB working set
- 280 GB/month growth
- Windows
Which tiers suit Engineering Design
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 serves websites; it cannot present a Windows desktop to work on. |
| VPS Flexible virtual infrastructure with full root access | Workable | Adequate for light remote desktop work — email, documents, a line-of-business application. |
| VDS Virtual server with resources pinned to you alone | Recommended | Guaranteed CPU and memory are what make a remote desktop feel like a local one rather than a slideshow. |
| Dedicated Server An entire physical server, configured to your specification | Recommended | The right tier for CAD, BIM and rendering, where the whole machine is in use for hours at a stretch. |
| Bare Metal Physical compute for sustained, demanding workloads | Recommended | For teams running several workstations on one physical host, with GPUs available on request. |
Engineering Design workloads you can host
FEA runs hold the entire mesh in memory, so RAM decides whether a model solves at all.
- Analysis & FEA
- CAD workstations
- Calculation records
- Drawing control
- Simulation results
Where your server runs
All 24 locations cost the same, so pick whichever sits closest to the people who will actually use the server.
Denver is closest to Dallas. Every marker costs the same per month.

Engineering Design in Denver
We work with businesses across Downtown / LoDo, RiNo, Cherry Creek, Capitol Hill and the Highlands. Denver is an active, design-conscious market that rewards fast, modern sites.
The closest of our 24 data centres to Denver is Dallas, about 662 miles away. The price is the same in all 24 locations, so distance is the only variable worth optimising.
Denver has a population of about 729,019, which is why the large build above is the one most likely to fit a Engineering Design business here — though the other two are a click away if it does not. Local time is America/Denver, 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 state privacy laws such as the CCPA. Pricing is quoted in USD, and the figure is the same wherever the machine physically sits.
