You've left out one CRUCIAL bit of information.  How much storage do you need?  "Large capacity" is VAGUE.  To me, that could mean a 2 TB and to someone else that could be 50 TB.

a lot of people just get a quality late model used server (with ecc memory, and lots of it for read cache)...  then use solaris with zfs based raid.  
.this has iscsi dedup all the services you need.
hot snapshot and backup also..
you can even do online expansion of your shared volumes

Split between all experts who responded.  The question was vague enough in that all expert responses were valid as they fit within the constraints required by the author.
