You can tell by the responses that there's another path you might consider. Generally multiple instances are not needed, especially in such small data volumes as you've quoted. The number of users suggests a relatively significant commitment by the company.

You might post the situation you're trying to address. Lots of good advice on the group. Maybe you're asking the wrong question.
