For 50 users, you could use a wide variety of platforms and get good
performance. I would look at which technologies your staff has experience
with (UNIX NT whatever), then go from there. Most decent AIX or HP
platforms can be easily configured to support that many users, but if you
have mostly experience with NT, then maybe an SMP NT server would be a
better bet. Oracle has guidelines on memory per concurrent user (3MB I
think ?), etc, but again 50 users doesn't translate into that much memory.
