I calculated we would need 3 racks for the arrays, servers and

Why 3
racks? in a 42U racks you can have 2 X :
1 X 2U server with 2 X RAID HCA and 1 X 10 Gbit NIC (2 ports) +
4 X 4U 60 HDD JBOD
that means 36U .. and with 4 RAID6 on each jbod that with mean :
8 * (60 -8) = 416 unformatted disks ... for 3 TB disk i think you can
reach 1 PiB of formatted space ..
