How should we know? Just knowing that there are 200 to 250 million records and that such records encompass 2 years worth of data, and that there are 5 metrics that require aggregation, doesn't really say much. How big is any given row? How, exactly, is each aggregate derived (meaning is just using SUM or AVG or MIN or MAX sufficient) ? Are there any complex calculations required for each metric? We have nowhere near enough info to even start down the road...

Sounds like the kind of project that several of my colleagues do. I know some are between projects at the moment, and we definitely have the skills. Drop me a PM and I'll have my boss contact your boss to discuss rates and specifics.

Piling on to Steve's reply, how, what and on what are you trying to do this? Please give us all relevant information as holding back is a waist of everyone's time.

Year on year revenue calculation is trivial if the right tools are used and that is essentially what a last year-current year calculation is.
The server's configurations / specs look rather meagre but then again it all depends.

The DBA at your company should be able to help with this.
