It will be collecting data from various "collector" servers. The plan right now is to collect the file to binary files using a daemon (already running on a smaller box), then make the last 30/60/90/?? days available in a database that is populated from these files. If we need to gather older data, then the individual files must be consulted locally. So, in production, I would probably setup the database partition on it's own set of 6 disks, then dedicate the rest to handling/archiving the raw binary files. These files are small (a few MB each), as they get rotated every five minutes. Hope this makes sense, and provides a little background info on what we're trying to do.
