We found that a GlusterFS filesystem is a good way to go for our case of 100s of terabytes of unique files with some failover. Amazon S3 would simply cost far more. The file metadata is in the RDBMS, obviously. But storing the binary data in the RDBMS wouldn't be a good idea, and would choke long before it got to our scale.
