This is my neck of the woods - we went out to silicon valley in June to meet up with the guys behind a load of distributed/scalable data stores and try and work out which ones were actually worth spending time on. We didn't get too far with that though. For storing tiles, I'd take a look at GlusterFS (http://www.gluster.org/) - it's a distributed filesystem which is easy to scale. It's not something I've used very much though, so I can't say much about performance. For the data, it's a bit more tricky - it really depends on how relational you need it to be and what the current scalability requirements are. There are a load of these types of data stores about - I have a spreadsheet of them here: http://bit.ly/nosql I'm on IRC if you want to chat about this stuff.
