I have to handle many (1'000 - 30'000) big files ranging from 200MB up to 2GB. The demand for these files is variable (0 - 300 downloads / file). This is why a single file must saved on 2 or more servers.

My servers are placed in different datacenters (France), with different size HDDs (750GB to 4TB).

Currently I share the files using PHP and ncftpget / ncftpput, but it's very slow.

I need a solution to handle balancing these files across 7+ servers.
