Solaris + Oracle as one of the most reliable combinations for
moderate to extreme load, for a system that might well be in
operation for five to ten years. If I was going to do FreeBSD, I
might look into Postgres instead of MySQL; well, I might look into
something else than MySQL under many circumstances. I've gotten
some pretty good use out of OpenBase, for another choice.
FWIW, Solaris 10 Update 3 (6/06) comes with Postres on the DVDs and
you can get official support from Sun if that's important. Solaris/
x86 does run on HP hardware (with support available), but I don't the
exact HCL offhand.
As for Postgres on FreeBSD, FlighAware seems to be using it some some
decent amount of data:
. Receiving the data and processing it puts them about 6 minutes
behind real time
. Generating one map can be done in about 160 milliseconds of CPU time
. Capable of generating several million maps a day
. About 1 TB of stored data
. Approximately 40 million position updates on air craft per day
