[afnog] Network storage

[mulisa fred]

Basically, i want to upgrade my infrastructure to support 1 Gbps; its 
(fibre+3com infrastructure) with capacity of 300 clients; 4 mail servers; 5 application servers, and  scattered in three different sites-
However, the project is in the final touches to connect the three sites-
and am thinking of a Network storage System to the connected sites-
 
Let me check on this system , you have suggested- however still appreciate your comments.
 
Many thanks.

What are your requirements? Workload/Clients? Budget? 

I've been watching glusterfs(http://www.gluster.org/), simple, cheap, scalable and built on commodity hardware.
Have a look at

 and
