NetWeaver 2004s (BI-IP) liveCache Infrastructure Requirements

Question

Team SAP,
One of my customers is interested in utilizing the liveCache option to manage their lock table for Integrated Planning (BI-IP). 
Do we have any documentation and guidance we can provide on requirements and configuration scenarios. Some of the questions being asked include:
1) Can the liveCache be installed on the same box where BI-IP will be running (i.e. NetWeaver 2004s production box)
2) Is there a need to purchase new hardware, and what are the guidelines for sizing and configuration?
Thank you in advance for any help you may be able to provide.

Hi Michael,
This functionality should documented. E.g. When you call transaction RSPLAN, there is a button "Manage Lock Server", on the first tab ("Lock Table"), there are "i"-buttons for a short introduction. For configuration information on live cache, please look at note 816730.
This technology is new with NW2004s, and we at SAP development are very much interested in your feedback. (customer scenario, numbers of concurring users, comparison to shared object based technology, etc.)
So, for best project support please involve your SAP ramp up coach in order to get into contact with the ramp up back office. This will garantuee you best support.
