Daniel mentioned a bunch of configuration choices, but as for hardware I think
that pseries under AIX is probably going to be your best option.  pseries can
certainly grow large enough to satisfy large clients, and with the power5
stuff coming out now it's beginning to exhibit some of the performance
features you're used to on zseries.
