ROFLMAO!!!

30 users on Windows XP ?!! What is the capacity of this alleged "server"? As far as I can recall the maximum amount of memory that Windows XP can access is 3GB. That's barely enough for two users!

Get serious. If you're going to use Windows for this many users, you need Windows Server 2003 or later.

But 30 users using the server and server RAM is 2GB.4 applications are running on the server.Can you please suggest me how much server capacity should be there to access the Datastage.

These applications that you're already running won't be nearly as resource-hungry as IBM InfoSphere Information Server (complete with WebSphere Application Server).

To quote a line from a movie: "You have chosen... poorly". Seriously, rethink what hardware you will need for your stated goal of supporting 30 users on the 8.1 release of this product - an XP system (an unsupported O/S for this tool, btw) with 2GB of memory is well below what your minimum requirements should be. Well. As noted, that is really the minimum spec for a single user XP system.

If you're going to stick with Windows, go Server 2003 at a minimum with as much memory as you can afford to throw in there. As noted here the 32bit version will support up to 128GB (assuming PAE is enabled) and the 64bit version 2TB. Throw in some high-end quad processors and gobs of disk space.
