Hi,

I want 150 TB Network storage. However buying NAS from EMC takes Rs. 1 lak / TB. and from Fortunestart takes Rs.50K/TB. Which is pretty costlier for an NGO.

Can I make one NAS from Multiple servers ? For eg. If I setup 5 servers with 1 TB space then after seting up cluster I should get 5 TB space accession outside the cluster.

Is it possible? I heard that google is using same thing with their Filesystem.

It is. However "I want 150TB of storage" does not say anything about usage, performance etc. Identify very very clearly your present and future needs. You can then use one of many solutions available on GNU/linux.
