Albury, Australia
Server infrastructure for Genomics in Albury
Infrastructure for Genomics is a question of matching the machine to the application, then putting it near the people using it. For a small Genomics business in Albury that is about 4 Cores, 48 GB of memory and 3000 GB of storage on VDS.
- ✓ 5 infrastructure tiers
- ✓ Sized for your workload, not a plan name
- ✓ Same price in all 24 locations
Estimated from fibre distance, not measured from Albury. Your real figure depends on your connection and route, and lands inside this range.

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 Genomics size up this way
Working from about 5,000 visits a month and roughly 2,667 requests a day, storage grows by roughly 175 GB a month at this size, which usually decides the build before CPU does; about 45 GB of data needs to stay in memory to keep queries fast; and each request costs real computation rather than a cache lookup, so cores matter more here than on a typical site.

Which tiers suit Genomics
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 | There is no version of this workload that fits on shared hosting. |
| VPS Flexible virtual infrastructure with full root access | Workable | Useful for development, notebooks and light inference, but not for training or sustained compute. |
| VDS Virtual server with resources pinned to you alone | Workable | Suits CPU-bound preprocessing and data preparation with a guaranteed share of the machine. |
| Dedicated Server An entire physical server, configured to your specification | Recommended | Production compute wants the whole machine, with memory bandwidth that is not being shared. |
| Bare Metal Physical compute for sustained, demanding workloads | Recommended | Training, inference and simulation belong on physical hardware, with GPUs available on request. |
Genomics workloads you can host
A single run produces enormous files and the pipeline is CPU-bound for hours — this is batch compute, not a web workload.
- Sequence alignment
- Variant calling pipelines
- Reference genome storage
- Batch job scheduling
- Results archive
Where your server runs
All 24 locations cost the same, so pick whichever sits closest to the people who will actually use the server.
Albury is closest to Sydney. Every marker costs the same per month.

Genomics in Albury
The closest of our 24 data centres to Albury is Sydney, about 286 miles away. Every kilometre between your users and the server is latency you cannot optimise away in software.
Albury has a population of about 5,323, which is why the small build above is the one most likely to fit a Genomics business here — though the other two are a click away if it does not. Local time is Australia/Sydney, 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 the Privacy Act 1988. Pricing is quoted in AUD, and the figure is the same wherever the machine physically sits.

Albury sits in New South Wales, and every one of our 24 locations costs the same — so the only thing worth optimising is which of them your users are closest to. At the small size assumed above, that is roughly 2,667 requests a day crossing that link.
