Hello, We are a company that need a scalable storage architecture for large amounts of files, and we are thinking of use a solution based in GlusterFS. We need an architecture consiting in several server files configured as a distributed file system that provide HA storage. I would like to get some advice about an initial hardware and architectural configuration that would suit best the GlusterFS needs to build a solid system, such as how many servers are needed (we want no single point of failure, and have a good I/O performance), and which kind of hardware (which kind or servers, disks, network, direct storage devices, ...) is needed. We would start with several TB (maybe around 20TB?), but our storage system should progressively be able to scale up to more than 1PB. I don't know if this list is the right place to post this message. Apologies if it isn't. Thank you very much in advance for your attention in any case. Best regards, Germ?n Latorre.
