 High capacity, off-site data storage needs
I am trying to find who sells one or more of three types of high capacity storage systems. The first is to store 200 terabytes of security videos with the ability to retrieve a particular indexed video quickly. The second is a very high canacity RAID 5 storage system for off-site data storage of critical data for banks, government tax files, etc. The third system is also for off-site data storage that can grow to a petabyte size for general public storage of files. Your help in identifying suppliers for these will be greatly appreciated.

Answer Wiki:
I would recommend leaning towards Netapp with the 3 different configurations. Oracle has utilized them and they expand to the PB with ease. I've worked with EMC and Hitachi platforms but for your configurations, I would lean towards Netapp. You'll be looking at the 6000 Series.

I’d go with an EMC or IBM XIV solution.
