One Ring should be able to handle such a load. After all, the only thing that can cause One Ring to fail is fire within Mount Doom.

Jokes aside, 50 million records /year is a lot of data. If you are looking for HA solution, my advice is to go beyond x86 based solutions and consider HP-UX 11i with either Itanic (Intel Itanium) or PA chips. HP 9000 is an extremely powerful box which can be expanded as needed and can certainly handle big databases. I'm not sure whether Itanic will sink or float, but with 9000 boxes you cannot go wrong.
