With no information whatsoever about size of the data, I would guess a cost of about $4000 / node with annual hosting and power requirements about $2000/year.
This is probably no more accurate than one order of magnitude. It has a decent chance of being on the close order of magnitude. In particular, you might want a lot of memory. It is unlikely you want a lot of disks. You can do the math yourself on the EC2 costs.
