Server infrastructure for Warehousing in Ajax
Infrastructure for Warehousing is a question of matching the machine to the application, then putting it near the people using it. For a medium Warehousing business in Ajax that is about 4 Cores, 48 GB of memory and 300 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 Ajax. 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 Warehousing size up this way
Working from about 50,000 visits a month and roughly 213,333 requests a day, about 36 GB of data needs to stay in memory to keep queries fast.
- 7.4 req/sec at peak
- 36 GB working set
- 12 GB/month growth
- Linux
Which tiers suit Warehousing
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. |

Distances are from Ajax. Round trips are estimated from fibre distance, not measured — the figure your users see depends on where they are.
Warehousing in Ajax
The closest of our 24 data centres to Ajax is Toronto, about 22 miles away. Round-trip time is set by physical distance more than by anything else, so the nearest site is usually the right one.
Ajax has a population of about 119,677, which is why the medium build above is the one most likely to fit a Warehousing business here — though the other two are a click away if it does not. Local time is America/Toronto, 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 PIPEDA. Pricing is quoted in CAD, and the figure is the same wherever the machine physically sits.
Network reach from Ajax
Estimated from fibre distance rather than measured, and stated as a range. Your own access network decides the rest.

| New Yorkamericas | 336 miles | 8–16 ms |
| Chicagoamericas | 456 miles | 11–22 ms |
Ajax sits in Ontario, and 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 213,333 requests a day crossing that link.
