How about a thumper? (x4540). They can serve at least 24TB/chassis,
and I think with 1TB disks instead of the 500GB SATA drives I have in
the one I use at work you'd have 48TB raw storage. You would want to
run Solaris and use ZFS.
($25K) for 24TB unit, $50K for 48TB unit, 4xGBE ethernet and room for
additional quad NICs if needed.
I honestly can't tell you how that compares with the alternatives.
