There is no such thing as an "average" workload. My 100 users may, and most likely *will* have a completely different workload on my database when compared with your users and your database. We are talking different data, different users, different access patterns, different applications. There is no magic formula similar to the following:

workload = (#users*db_size*magic_factor)

The best you can do is to implement the system and monitor the workload and its impact on your resources.
