I think Clojure would be a great choice for this. When you say "systemwide" though I assume you mean a lot of distributed processing across many machines?
In that case you should probably be looking at Storm, Aleph, Pallet, Ring and the host of other Clojure libraries in that general area. What you want to do can probably be achieved by orchestrating some combination of these libraries in the right way. And on the data side Datomic of course might be a better choice than SQL.....
