Infrastructure sizing

Server Requirement Calculator

Enterprise-grade discovery and sizing engine. Walk through 18 structured steps the same way a senior infrastructure architect would — every answer influences CPU, memory, storage, IOPS, network, power and HA recommendations.

Suitable for startups, SMEs, enterprises, hospitals, banks, manufacturing, SaaS, AI, ERP, virtualization, CCTV and mixed workloads · Initial sizing confidence target ~99% with complete data

Organization

Optional but helpful — it appears on the downloadable report and quote request.

Used to apply industry-typical CPU/RAM bias (e.g. Banking and Telecom usually need more headroom than Education).

Startup ≈ under 50 people · Small 50–200 · Medium 200–1000 · Large 1000–5000 · Enterprise 5000+. Affects overall sizing multiplier.

Number of physical sites/offices that will use this infrastructure.

Branch offices connected to the same systems (can be 0).

People who connect from home or field (VPN / remote desktop). Extra remote users increase network and session capacity.

Approximate yearly growth in users/data. Example: 20 means ~20% more load each year. We build headroom from this.

How far ahead to size for. Longer horizon = more headroom in CPU, RAM and storage.

How this calculator works

Every field feeds a weighted sizing model: user concurrency, workload type, database platform, CPU intensity, IOPS targets, growth horizon, HA/SLA requirements and industry norms. Results include processor family guidance, ECC memory layout, RAID level, drive type, NIC speed, redundant PSU, UPS, rack units, heat output and a confidence score. Impossible combinations (e.g. large user counts with tiny RAM, or databases on SATA) surface as explicit warnings with reasons.
