Marco,
In my experience with any monitoring system that has a poller, the most
limiting factor hardware-wise was the number and capacity of CPU cores. The
faster cores complete each polling thread in less time, and additional cores
allow you to easily handle multiple polling threads simultaneously. In this
case, I believe the most "bang for the buck" would come from a quad core
CPU.
The next consideration would be memory, then disk, then network. With the
low cost of memory, I would allow for at least 4 Gb of RAM. This would
allow less (or no) use of swap, while providing a healthy write buffer for
the disks.
Given the speed of SATA and SAS drives these days, you would need to handle
many more hosts and interfaces before your disk subsystem would become a
limiting factor. Finally, most servers and server-class motherboards have
one or more GigE interfaces built in. This should be more than adequate for
the needs you described.
