Server infrastructure for Genomics in Oregon
Most Genomics outgrow their first server in one specific place — and it is rarely the one the plan name suggests. For a small Genomics business in Oregon 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 Oregon. 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.
Oregon is closest to Seattle. Every marker costs the same per month.

Distances are from Oregon. Round trips are estimated from fibre distance, not measured — the figure your users see depends on where they are.
Genomics in Oregon
The closest of our 24 data centres to Oregon is Seattle, about 200 miles away. Round-trip time is set by physical distance more than by anything else, so the nearest site is usually the right one.
Oregon has a population of about 1,187, 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 America/Los Angeles, 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.
Network reach from Oregon
Estimated from fibre distance rather than measured, and stated as a range. Your own access network decides the rest.

| Los Angelesamericas | 772 miles | 19–37 ms |
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.
