Which tiers suit Facility Management
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. |
