If you're really going to set up as an ISP then almost none of this would be
done on Apple equipment -- it would be an inefficient use of funds. You'd
probably go and get huge generic RAID arrays for all your storage need. Item
2 listed above can be done perfectly well using Apache until you start needing
to write your own web server (which you will need if you ever get to the ten
thousand client stage). The other three items would be done by writing web
interfaces to your customer database (probably kept in some form of SQL
database) using PHP.

Actually I've designed two large nation wide Wireless ISPs over the last three years and we used XServes with both projects. Of course there was a lot of other equipment too, lots of Ciscos, many F5 BigIPs and several NAS, SAN and RAID arrays.

As I said, the stuff he's asking about is the stuff you don'tnormally loose any sleep over. It's the easy part.
