Looking for info on an on-line database

We are in the process of designing a database system with the following characteristics:

1. A central server will contain the database records numbering upto 500,000. The records will contain personal information (text only) indexed by say Soc. Sec. Number.
2. Data entry will be through PCs connected to the server over a LAN.
3. Data access will be through PCs connected through a modem. We expect about 1000 accesses per day with upto 50 concurrent accesses.

We are looking for some information on hardware reqmts. for the server, database software with such access capabilities, as well as ideas for the data access software (i.e. dial-up, login, access, security and disconnect), also redundancy and fault tolerance for the server.
