Hi there,

> how hard is it to start your own edex server

It's not very hard to start your own server.  You will have best results if you 
have 
a dedicated machine (it specifically runs edex and not other things).  And it 
has to
be a CentOS7 machine (it cannot run on Windows or Mac -- although you may be 
able 
to have success running it in a Linux virtual machine).

If you want to process a lot of data I would recommend quite a bit of RAM and a 
decent
amount of disc space.

The 'hardest' thing, if you are not an educational institution, is getting the 
data
feeds and then creating processes for ingesting the data into EDEX.

Let me know if that all makes sense, and if you have any other questions?
