I need to know what is the best storage solution with this configuration

It depends of what you want to do ... which kind of cluster do you want to implement ? a linux-ha type cluster based on heartbeat ? Do you need a shared storage ? in that case a san in fiber-channel or iscsi should work. Some scsi adapters are able also to handle shared scsi bus. If you don't really need a shared storage, you can just replicate data with drbd ...
