Hi David
Check out "Building a GIS System Architecture Design Strategies for
Managers" from Dave Peters - Esri Press. Just as a start point.

requirements


Hello list,

In our company, we are planning to set up a OGC Services Server using
MapServer (we are currently using version 5.2.1, and at the moment it's
working fine) to serve amounts of geographical data. 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!!
 
Un saludo,
