Server sizing

[Porus Lakdawala]

Hi,

I would like to get some idea about server hardware configuration to run
Nagios. I am looking to monitor ~500 hosts and ~5000 services. Linux will be
the base OS on the server.

Can someone spec a server they are running with roughly this kind of load? 

I am looking for basic info:

1. CPU number and speed
2. Memory
3. I/O

Any other tips, tricks or recommendations as regards configuring the
hardware are most welcome.

Thanks in advance for your help.
