In my case postgresql is like "fire and forget". Once installed it needs
to be vacuumed regularly. Thats all. Well, backups also. What
maintenance do you do?

It depends on how much data you want to store. You said you have 400
machines in the network, so 900Mb limits you to ~2Mb per machine. You
decide if thats enough.
