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 Saint Andrews, business by business
These are not the same workload. Sized at the small band, here is what each one actually needs.
| Business | Build | Tier | What decides it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Industrial Manufacturing | 2 vCPU · 24 GB · 150 GB | VDS | The shop floor writes continuously and the ERP reads constantly — the database is busy on both sides all shift... |
| Machinery Manufacturers | 2 vCPU · 24 GB · 150 GB | VDS | A configurable machine has an enormous BOM tree, and pricing one is a real computation rather than a lookup. |
| Electronics Manufacturing | 2 vCPU · 24 GB · 350 GB | VDS | Every board carries a test record, so data volume scales with units produced rather than with customers. |
| Automotive Manufacturing | 2 vCPU · 32 GB · 150 GB | VDS | Sequencing is unforgiving: parts arrive in build order, and a stalled system stops a physical line. |
| Textile Manufacturing | 1 vCPU · 12 GB · 100 GB | VPS | Colour and lot variation multiply the product master far beyond the number of designs. |
| Metal Fabrication | 2 vCPU · 12 GB · 100 GB | VPS | Nesting to minimise waste is an optimisation run, not a form submission — it takes real CPU per job. |
| Chemical Manufacturing | 2 vCPU · 24 GB · 150 GB | VDS | Formulations are the crown jewels and batch records are regulated — access control matters as much as capacity... |
| Packaging Companies | 1 vCPU · 10 GB · 350 GB | VPS | Print-ready artwork files are large and every revision is kept, because reprinting the wrong version is expens... |
| Industrial Automation | 2 vCPU · 24 GB · 500 GB | VDS | The historian records every tag continuously, which is a small write repeated forever. |
| SCADA Systems | 2 vCPU · 24 GB · 600 GB | VDS | Alarms must be delivered in order and in real time; a late alarm is worse than no alarm. |
| Mining Companies | 2 vCPU · 32 GB · 700 GB | VDS | Haul fleets report position and payload constantly, and the geological model behind it all is very large. |
| Mining Software | 4 vCPU · 48 GB · 500 GB | VDS | Block models and scheduling optimisation are batch compute jobs measured in hours. |
