Maps add in demand

Hi I am new to OSM, and I have some questions.

we are running a GPS system which requires OSM data for addressing. we considered the planet map, but I think it is better to add region map when it is required, like our GPS system requires Chile map information, then self-host OSM server download Chile map, if it requires Colombia map, then the OSM system download Colombia map, which aim to reduce the harddisk consumption, is it possible?

and I am intend to use 2 servers,

2X[64Gb RAM,256G SSD,3000X2 HHD, Hardware-RAID 1,Intel Core i7 3930K,Ubuntu 12.04,static ip],
Or 1X[64Gb RAM,256G SSD,3000X2 HDD, Hardware-RAID 1,Intel Core i7 3930K,Ubuntu 12.04,static ip] + 1X[64Gb RAM,256G SSD,3000X4 HDD, Hardware-RAID 10,Intel Core i7 3930K,Ubuntu 12.04,static ip] 1 for database use, and 1 for general use.

Is this OK to host planet data?

Also is it possible to advice me how to assign the resources of this 2 server to achieve the best performance.

Sorry,Guys, newbie here,and I hope I can have my private OSM server and API into use soon, thanks.

Could be more explicit ? By Chile map, you mean map tiles? Osm data ?

I need to achieve the street level information,which can achieve this? and lower harddisck consumption?

@ansoncary: please describe what you mean by "achieve the street level information". I think that is still not clear. Do you want to look at a map in street level zoom? Do you want to geocode addresses? Do you want to reverse geocode? Do you want to do routing?

yes,@aseerel4c26, we are doing a GPS tracking system, and need to addressing the lat and lon, which plan to host it by our own, we need addressing information down to street number
