Total. I am looking at three pieces in total:

* Two 1PT storage "blocks" providing load sharing and 
  mirroring for failover.

* One 5PB storage block for on-line archives (3-5 years).

The 1PB nodes will divided into something that makes sense, such as
multiple SuperMicro 847 chassis with 3TB disks providing some number of
volumes. Division is a function of application, such as a 100TB RAIDz2
volumes for bulk storage whereas smaller 8TB volumes for active data,
such as iSCSI, databases, and home directories.

Thanks.
