Horses were domesticated some 6000 years ago. I feel so old!
Ceph?
No. Beegfs.
Do check seaweedfs too! Haven't tried it (yet) but their 'erasure coding' reads as super sophisticated to me ;)
I wonder how it compares to beegfs
Using FTP (I assume you mean SFTP) will buy you some performance, as would other protocols that are faster and requiring less compute than SMB.
I predict whatever solution you use will only buy you time. Usage is bound to increase so you'll still hit the performance limits for the hardware platform at some point, unless you can constrain the simultaneous connections. File sizes will impact scalability a lot as well.
You can't guess this one. You need to test.
tl;dr - I suspect you can't win.
Was IPFS considered? I've tried it myself but it seems like an unstable product and I'm not sure if it's living up to its promise...
Unusable in our case
