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.
Which tiers suit Manufacturers
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. |

Manufacturing & Industrial in Québec City, business by business
These are not the same workload. Sized at the large band, here is what each one actually needs.
| Business | Build | Tier | What decides it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Industrial Manufacturing | 16 vCPU · 256 GB · 1500 GB | Dedicated Server | The shop floor writes continuously and the ERP reads constantly — the database is busy on both sides all shift... |
| Machinery Manufacturers | 16 vCPU · 196 GB · 1500 GB | Dedicated Server | A configurable machine has an enormous BOM tree, and pricing one is a real computation rather than a lookup. |
| Electronics Manufacturing | 16 vCPU · 256 GB · 4000 GB | Dedicated Server | Every board carries a test record, so data volume scales with units produced rather than with customers. |
| Automotive Manufacturing | 20 vCPU · 320 GB · 1500 GB | Bare Metal | Sequencing is unforgiving: parts arrive in build order, and a stalled system stops a physical line. |
| Textile Manufacturing | 8 vCPU · 128 GB · 900 GB | Dedicated Server | Colour and lot variation multiply the product master far beyond the number of designs. |
| Metal Fabrication | 8 vCPU · 128 GB · 900 GB | Dedicated Server | Nesting to minimise waste is an optimisation run, not a form submission — it takes real CPU per job. |
| Chemical Manufacturing | 16 vCPU · 196 GB · 1500 GB | Dedicated Server | Formulations are the crown jewels and batch records are regulated — access control matters as much as capacity... |
| Packaging Companies | 6 vCPU · 96 GB · 4000 GB | Dedicated Server | Print-ready artwork files are large and every revision is kept, because reprinting the wrong version is expens... |
| Industrial Automation | 16 vCPU · 256 GB · 4000 GB | Dedicated Server | The historian records every tag continuously, which is a small write repeated forever. |
| SCADA Systems | 16 vCPU · 196 GB · 4000 GB | Dedicated Server | Alarms must be delivered in order and in real time; a late alarm is worse than no alarm. |
| Mining Companies | 20 vCPU · 320 GB · 4000 GB | Bare Metal | Haul fleets report position and payload constantly, and the geological model behind it all is very large. |
| Mining Software | 28 vCPU · 448 GB · 4000 GB | Bare Metal | Block models and scheduling optimisation are batch compute jobs measured in hours. |
