file shering dedicated host? SAN server ? need help

[manvbf]

hi all:

i want to build a fileshering web site, i know from the start that trafic to my site will be high becouse it is not a regular file host site and i belive that i will have a lot of downloads as service will be mostly free of charge.

from what i understand i will need massive servers or at least good servers with high data transfer speed , reliable up time , very big storage space and massive bandwith.

i understand that budget should be high for this and i am not cutting on budget, i thought on first starting low and then upgrading but the low point of this poject will still need to have the best i can find both in speed ,storage and bandwith.

can you reccomend what service or way i can use for this project?

what servers rapidshare use? megaupload? i know i am still at start but i want a clean start.


thank you for your reply.
