Cluster analysis with many duplicate cases

I have a large dataset with substantial numbers of duplicates, on which
I want to conduct a cluster analysis (using Ward's method).
Is there any software that allows integer weights to reduce the
processing time? I have in mind feeding the algorithm with a dataset of
unique cases, weighted by the number of instances.
Is this even possible with Ward's method?
