Server infrastructure for Surveying

Sized from the workload rather than sold as a plan name: what Surveying actually run, what that needs, and which tier it belongs on.

Recommended builds by size

Three sizes of operation, each sized from an assumed traffic figure.

Small

1–10 people · ~5,000 visits a month

VDS

  • 2 Cores
  • 32 GB RAM
  • 1500 GB storage

A single site or team, with traffic that arrives in a predictable working-hours pattern.

Medium

11–50 people · ~50,000 visits a month

Dedicated Server

  • 6 Cores
  • 96 GB RAM
  • 4000 GB storage

A growing business running several systems, where an outage now costs real money.

Large

51+ people · ~500,000 visits a month

Bare Metal

  • 20 Cores
  • 320 GB RAM
  • 4000 GB storage

Multiple sites or a busy platform, with traffic that spikes and an obligation to stay up.

Which tiers suit Surveying

InfrastructureVerdictWhy
Shared Hosting Managed space on a shared server Not this one Shared hosting serves websites; it cannot present a Windows desktop to work on.
VPS Flexible virtual infrastructure with full root access Workable Adequate for light remote desktop work — email, documents, a line-of-business application.
VDS Virtual server with resources pinned to you alone Recommended Guaranteed CPU and memory are what make a remote desktop feel like a local one rather than a slideshow.
Dedicated Server An entire physical server, configured to your specification Recommended The right tier for CAD, BIM and rendering, where the whole machine is in use for hours at a stretch.
Bare Metal Physical compute for sustained, demanding workloads Recommended For teams running several workstations on one physical host, with GPUs available on request.

Surveying workloads you can host

A single scan is a point cloud of hundreds of millions of points, and the client wants it years later.

  • Point cloud storage
  • Total station & GNSS data
  • Drawing production
  • Site photography

Surveying hosting — FAQs

What server specification do Surveying usually need?
It depends on volume more than on the industry. A medium-sized operation working from about 50,000 visits a month lands around 6 cores, 96 GB of memory and 4000 GB of storage.
How were these figures worked out?
From an assumed traffic level, the number of requests each page makes, and how much data the application keeps warm — then rounded up to a build we actually sell. They are assumptions stated out loud rather than measurements of your business.
Can we change size later?
Yes. Memory, cores and disk can all be raised on the same server, usually within the hour, with no rebuild and no new IP address.
