Well, I believe that a cluster of 4 HP "Superdome" machines with 128GB RAM and 64 CPUs each running on EMC with additional 64GB cache, configured as RAID 0+1 (striping and mirroring) should be able to serve at least 4 users (1 per node). Be sure to use 10000 RPM disks and FCAL connections instead of SCSI and your 4 lucky guys will have a relatively good performance.
