You should tell us more about this box. 8MB RAM, your probably mean 8GB of RAM. 8MB is nothing. I'd hardly call it beyond commercially available. I have 16GB of RAM in my personal computer and I've seen 16GB kits for a 100 bucks. I doubt it costs 10-20K. I have a server with 16GB of RAM and the RAM was about 200-300 for the RAM (ECC of course). Total cost was 2500. Perhaps you could ask the IT company for the specs of your box.
You may want to check your networking. The thing about cloud setups is that 95% of your setup is controlled by the company. A box with 8 Processors or 8 cores. AC does not need 8 processors. One thing you need to do for sure is get a better idea of the specifications of the box from your IT Company.
