My basic installation which includes Emboss (and Embassy), and the Blocks,
Prints, Prosite, Blimps, and test databases, but no sequence databases,
takes 1.23 gb. EMBL is something like 700+ Gb uncompressed. I just installed
a 4tb NAS to try and manage the sequence databases.

        Dear John,

That is a difficult question. On our computer EMBOSS itself (without the 
sequence databases but with the motif databases) takes 250 Mbyte. The space
your 
users need depends much on whether they are just grandmotherwise analyzing
some 
sequences of their interest or whether they are in complete genome high 
throughput analysis. On our computer there is for the moment 49 Gbyte used 
(about 250 users, but not all are very active).
