Your database on a server of its own, in Buenos Aires
Memory is exclusive, so frequent queries are answered from RAM. Disks work in RAID 10 with one on standby, and the database talks to your application servers over a private network, never peeking out to the internet.
Queries served from memory
Reserving 16 or 32 GB keeps indexes and the busiest tables in memory, so answers come back without touching the disk.
The database, off the internet
Your application servers reach it over the datacenter’s private network. The database port never needs to face the world.
A disk fails, the database carries on
If a disk breaks, the standby one takes its place automatically and the array rebuilds while the database keeps serving.
The data stays in the country
If your system stores personal data of Argentine customers, hosting it in Buenos Aires spares you from justifying an international transfer.

From sizing to the first connection
We size the database
Tell us its size and its query load. The goal is for the busiest part to fit entirely in RAM.
We add it to your internal network
We join the server to your application VPS or servers over the datacenter’s internal network; each machine gets its own private address.
Close the door to the internet
Make the engine listen only on the internal IP. In PostgreSQL, for instance, in postgresql.conf and pg_hba.conf:
listen_addresses = '10.0.0.2' host all all 10.0.0.0/24 scram-sha-256
FAQ
About Cloud server · Databases.
How much RAM should my database have?
Rule of thumb: what gets read the most —indexes and hot tables— should fit in memory. A database of roughly 10 GB or less works comfortably on an SH5 (16 GB); if it is larger or very busy, move to an SH6 (32 GB), and beyond that, to the expansion up to 128 GB.
Can I link it to my other servers?
Yes, with your cloud servers: inside the datacenter we connect them over a private network, with an internal IP on each machine. Mention it when ordering. If your app runs on a Cloud VPS, ask us first how best to connect them.
Is the database managed by you?
No. The engine, its updates and its backups are handled by your team, just like the operating system. We look after the hardware, the platform and the network, and lend a hand while you get it going.
And if a disk breaks?
One disk in the RAID 10 array sits on standby: it replaces the failed one with no intervention, and the server does not stop while it rebuilds. You still need your own database backups: RAID will not save you from a DELETE without a WHERE.
