Also when we say "server" we mean a host machine. For a 4 user setup the "server" (headless, no raid, ie a stock lowcost box) would cost 8k. If that is not affordable, i doubt you could do business with the customer.
1. Customer will not buy a new hardware to test a software, specially for a small team 2. Along with 8k for the server, he will have to pay another 8k for someone to install the server, install the software, configure it
Even for clients with money to spare, the question is of the utility of the 8K. No one is going to pay 8K to test whether a software is good or inadequate for his use.
