Side by side
The differences that matter
| Criteria | 8 GB | 16 GB | 32 GB+ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typical use | Single learner, GUI transactions | Modern ERP with Web UI, small group | Batches, development, POCs |
| Concurrent users | 1 | A few | Many |
| Web UI launchpad | Limited | Comfortable | Comfortable with heavy use |
| Custom ERP development | Basic | Suitable | Recommended |
| Relative cost | Lowest | Balanced | Highest |
Which should you choose?
- Practising module transactions alone: the smaller configuration is usually enough.
- Working with Modern ERP, Web UI and configuration: choose the mid configuration.
- Running a batch, a POC or heavy development: take a dedicated, higher-memory environment.
- Tell us your module and number of users and we will confirm the exact sizing before you pay.
Common questions
Does the RAM refer to my laptop?
No. It is the memory allocated to the hosted ERP system. Your own machine only needs to run ERP client.
Can I upgrade memory mid-rental?
Yes. Environments can be moved to a larger configuration during the access period and your work carries over.
