Server infrastructure for Genomics in Spanaway
Infrastructure for Genomics is a question of matching the machine to the application, then putting it near the people using it. For a medium Genomics business in Spanaway that is about 16 Cores, 196 GB of memory and 4000 GB of storage on Dedicated Server.
- ✓ 5 infrastructure tiers
- ✓ Sized for your workload, not a plan name
- ✓ Same price in all 24 locations
Estimated from fibre distance, not measured from Spanaway. 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 50,000 visits a month and roughly 26,667 requests a day, storage grows by roughly 500 GB a month at this size, which usually decides the build before CPU does; about 128 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.
- 0.5 req/sec at peak
- 128 GB working set

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.
Spanaway is closest to Seattle. Every marker costs the same per month.

Genomics in Spanaway
The closest of our 24 data centres to Spanaway is Seattle, about 35 miles away. Choosing the closest data centre is the cheapest performance improvement available, and it costs nothing extra.
Spanaway has a population of about 27,227, which is why the medium 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.
