Server infrastructure for Laboratory Software in Dunedin
Infrastructure for Laboratory Software is a question of matching the machine to the application, then putting it near the people using it. For a medium Laboratory Software business in Dunedin that is about 4 Cores, 48 GB of memory and 250 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 Dunedin. 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 Laboratory Software size up this way
Working from about 50,000 visits a month and roughly 400,000 requests a day, about 32 GB of data needs to stay in memory to keep queries fast.
- 9.3 req/sec at peak
- 32 GB working set
- 10 GB/month growth
- Linux
Which tiers suit Laboratory Software
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 | Shared hosting cannot run background workers, queues or long-lived processes, which a SaaS application depends on. |
| VPS Flexible virtual infrastructure with full root access | Recommended | The natural home for an early-stage product: root access, your own runtime, and the ability to resize as you grow. |
| VDS Virtual server with resources pinned to you alone | Recommended | Pinned resources give you the predictable latency your customers will hold you to in an SLA. |
| Dedicated Server An entire physical server, configured to your specification | Recommended | Right once the database and the application tier are competing for the same memory on a single virtual instance. |
| Bare Metal Physical compute for sustained, demanding workloads | Workable | For platforms running their own virtualization, or holding a large working set entirely in memory. |
Laboratory Software workloads you can host
Instruments speak their own protocols and never stop sending — the integration layer is the part that has to stay up.

Distances are from Dunedin. Round trips are estimated from fibre distance, not measured — the figure your users see depends on where they are.
Laboratory Software in Dunedin
The closest of our 24 data centres to Dunedin is Sydney, about 1,311 miles away. Round-trip time is set by physical distance more than by anything else, so the nearest site is usually the right one.
Dunedin has a population of about 132,800, which is why the medium build above is the one most likely to fit a Laboratory Software business here — though the other two are a click away if it does not. Local time is Pacific/Auckland, 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 2020. Pricing is quoted in NZD, and the figure is the same wherever the machine physically sits.
Network reach from Dunedin

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 medium size assumed above, that is roughly 400,000 requests a day crossing that link.
