Default 16 terabytes of storage on Solaris?


What's the best way of setting up a single filesystem of 16 terabytes (or
a little less), at about 64 megabytes/second sustained or better, using
Solaris? Needs to be reliable and economical, doesn't need to be blazing.

Is there such a thing as a JBOD or series of JBOD's that could be attached
to the same box and SVM'd to this kind of capacity? Or perhaps RAID
arrays that would present a series of large block devices that could be
SVM'd?

Does Solaris have anything like NBD/ENBD/AoE/iSCSI that would make remote
disks seem local (say, over GigE?), for SVM purposes?

How else might you construct such a large storage system?

Thanks!
