How big a server do you need?

Kenlode Sales mostly stores text and serves pages; the AI work runs at your AI provider. So a modest server covers most teams. Enter your numbers for a recommendation with room to spare.

Recommended server

2vCPU

4GB RAM

40GB SSD

Data added per year
225 MB
Data after the years you plan for
675 MB
Space for nightly backups
2.3 GB

Linux with Docker, for example Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. Ports 80 and 443 open for HTTPS. Keep a copy of the backups off the server as well.

How we size it

  • The smallest server we support is 2 vCPU, 4 GB of memory and 40 GB of disk. An idle install uses about 160 MB of memory; the rest is headroom for the operating system, backups, updates and busy mornings.
  • Data grows with meeting transcripts: about 80 KB for a one-hour transcript and the records drawn from it. Kenlode stores text, not recordings.
  • Disk covers the operating system, two app versions during an update, the database, and every nightly backup you keep, and stays under 70% full.
  • AI usage is billed by your AI provider and doesn't depend on the server. Prefer we host it? See managed hosting.
