Obvious (and probably unwanted) suggestion: RAID drives for your system on a SAN on a redundant system on a physically separate system. In other words, you should have 4 times the capacity you need divided into two separate places (physically). One stack of RAID drives failing should not bring down your system.

Good luck. Thanks for such a good service.
