Not meant as a commercial.  See http://scalableinformatics.com/sicluster

Scales through many PB.  100TB isn't an issue, we have many in the field 
of this size or larger (and smaller).  Runs Gluster 3.x (3.1.x 
recommended).

The "well known" brands have well known limitations.  You have to decide 
if brand name is more important than meeting the specific needs.
