Excellent.  That's the same capacity I'm looking for.

On the expansion factor you mention, one of the other things I want to
recommend to members of the grid is that they set K and H to be much higher
than the defaults.  Assuming that we can get 20 active servers on this grid,
with the 95% uptime commitment, I'll recommend that you set your parameters
to 7/15/15.  Those parameters will provide you with _higher_ reliability
than 3/7/10, but an expansion factor of just under 2, rather than over 3.
