Have you looked at parallel filesystems such as Lustre and fhgfs?
I have not looked at Lustre, as I have heard many negative things about it (including Oracle ownership). The only business using Lustre where I know the admins has had a lot of trouble with it. No redundancy.
Fhgfs looks interesting, and I am planning on looking at it, but have not yet done so.
MooseFS and GlusterFS have both been evaluated, and were too slow. In the case of GlusterFS, waaaay too slow.
