Hey there.

2.5 of our physical servers run Passenger/Rails.

If this were a Java app, I definitely would have been able to get away with less (mostly because of less memory consumption, but less CPU consumption wouldn't hurt either)

However, I'd probably still want 2 machines for redundancy.

if you want to save on RAM you can use a 32-bit OS and/or 1.9 or the MBARI patches--works well for me :)
