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 Facility Management size up this way

Working from about 50,000 visits a month and roughly 213,333 requests a day, about 32 GB of data needs to stay in memory to keep queries fast.

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.

Facility Management workloads you can host

Building sensors report continuously, so the system is ingesting long after the maintenance team has gone home.

  • Asset register
  • Planned maintenance schedules
  • Work order dispatch
  • Compliance certificates

Yes. Memory, cores and disk can all be raised on the same server, usually within the hour, with no rebuild and no new IP address. Starting one size below your estimate is normally the cheaper mistake.
