Do you take into account the time to create these initial images ? Do you count the analysis time ? These factors are the most important and take much time !

If you need replication, you can try
http://packages.debian.org/testing/admin/replicat<nobr>o<wbr></nobr> r.html

50Pc x 100$ (Windows - I forgot server licences) = 5000$
500$ a day you can take about 10 days for a free solution... (and problably saves a lot of in the next years !)
