 From http://www.redsheriff.com/us/news/news_4_201.html

"According to the company, RedSheriff processes 10 billion records a 
month and the total amount of data managed is more than 32TB. Griffin 
said PostgreSQL has been in production for 12 months with not a single 
database fault in that time “The stability of the database can not be 
questioned. Needless to say, we are extremely happy."

I think it's safe to assume this is not on a spare Dell 600SC though.
