Hello all, Thanks for your responses and insight.
So I guess GlusterFS is out. I had been intending to use GlusterFS in clients as an NFS mount and on servers as a common data store. My use case is what Stephen mentioned - we also have a large number of images for an image store and need to efficiently put them away in a central/distributed manner. We have been considering Manta. I considered S3, but did not think it worth the effort. S3 Glacier for archiving of older assets seems worth looking into. I have not looked into Riak though, now I will. Stephen, I'd be interested to know what you decide upon and other experiences in the selection process if you're able to share. LeoFS seems interesting but I need something that's production-ready. Thanks a lot.
