Just a shot in the dark....but can't you have a x86_64 NFS server export a fs larger then 16TB and mount that on your x86 machine for use with your application?
I already ran the two-server idea past the decision makers. It was rejected, even though this server I just built is going to replace an existing one purely to add the extra storage, and so it could have just acted as a storage side-car to the existing server instead. I don't know whether it was rejected on rack space limits or "cleanliness" or whatever. All I got was, "no".
