Hello, MySQL 5.0 Cluster is an in-memory database. Meaning that the entire database (tables, indexes, etc.) must fit in RAM along with your other OS and application processes.
In 5.1, we have introduced disk-based data support. Note, that although data can now be stored on disk, indexes must still reside in memory. Might be worth checking out, however 55 GB is def. on the large size for a MySQL Cluster configuration.
