We are going to serve big raster files (45 GB aprox each raster), so we need a big HDD (we know this). We are planning to have this raster files tiled with TileCache. We also are going to serve data via MapServer from another server in which we have an Oracle Spatial DataBase with very big tables and millions of rows, so we think that the communication between these 2 servers should be very fluid. All this services will be consumed by our own employees (50 aprox) or other people using desktop GIS software like gvSIG, Kosmo or ArcGIS. Besides, we are developing some web applications using OpenLayers, and this web apps will also consume those ogc services. So, our doubts have to do with the following subjects: - Processor - RAM Memory - HDD (we know that has to be large, i.e. 1TB - 2TB) - Number of network adapters (is advisable to have more than one?) - Which OS is best for MapServer, Linux or Windows 2003 (in terms of performance) - Other suggestions... IMPORTANT: Take into account that this is going to be at PRODUCTION LEVEL. Hope someone can help me. Thanks!!
