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 Pharmaceutical & Biotech Companies
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. |

Pharmaceutical & Biotech in Portslade, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pharmaceutical Companies | 2 vCPU · 24 GB · 250 GB | VDS | Systems here are validated as well as hosted: a change has to be documented before it is deployed. |
| Drug Distribution | 2 vCPU · 32 GB · 300 GB | VDS | Serialisation means every pack has an identity to record and query, which is a very large, very simple dataset... |
| Medical Suppliers | 1 vCPU · 12 GB · 150 GB | VPS | Every line item carries certification paperwork that has to be retrievable years after the sale. |
| Clinical Research | 2 vCPU · 24 GB · 300 GB | VDS | A locked dataset must be provably unchanged, so integrity and retention matter more than speed. |
| Genomics | 4 vCPU · 48 GB · 3000 GB | VDS | A single run produces enormous files and the pipeline is CPU-bound for hours — this is batch compute, not a we... |
| Bioinformatics | 4 vCPU · 48 GB · 700 GB | VDS | Reference databases are held in memory to be useful, and they are large before any of your own data arrives. |
| Laboratory Software | 1 vCPU · 16 GB · 100 GB | VPS | Instruments speak their own protocols and never stop sending — the integration layer is the part that has to s... |
