When starting to produce large databases with top performance, perhaps
it would benefit to look into the Teradata DBC/1012. The DBC (Data Base
Computer) is specifically designed as a database engine capable of 
storing over 1 Terabyte of data, and its multiple processor architecture
produces fast response time. The DBC can interface to a variety of hosts
running a variety of Operating Systems either directly channel connected
or LAN connected. The DBC itself executes its own Teradata Operating
System. In addition, the DBC has fault tolerant capabilities, i.e. if a 
disk, processor or other hardware component fails, the DBC remains 
operational.
