i'd pick sun - they have the best scalability ,the best SMPand the best relationship with oracle

i think you're problem is interesting - 2000 accesses/second - is quite fast - do you think you'll be able to do that with a relational database ? - if you do- you may need a cluster of nodes that run Oracle Parallel Server and a TP monitor like Tuxedo. In the land of real time waiting for an oracle connect may not be advisable - you may need to do some re-architecting

good luck
