It depends on how the data is to be used. Are you going to see a lot of
read/writes to the storage, or more of one than the other, i.e. more
reads, few writes or more writes, few reads. What sort of connection are
you going to use, 1Gb, Fibre, 10Ge? What sort of protocol, TCP/IP,
iSCSI, NSF, CIFS, one of the SAN protocols? It's all of those things
together that determine the type of solution you'll need, beyond having
2.5 petabytes which is a good hunk of storage.
