Cognos sizes their systems based on named users.
Without any details, a rule of thumg sizing for a simple single server would be:

- 50 gig disk space.
- 16 gig memory, and 32 when you know you will be using the DQM reporting engine.
- 4 cpu cores.

Keep in mind that the BI server license could have been bought on a PVU license model, restricting you in the number of cpu cores you are allowed to assign.
