The thing you want is called a RAMSAN, and I know this because I've read a ton of developer reports from EVE Online.
Those guys have a MASSIVE performance sensitivity on their database, so they run this gigantic RAMSAN-backed database.
If you can reach serious performance savings or developer time savings (and so can justify the cost) you probably want something like that.
Of course, you may not need the size of the gear they use, but in principle you want the same thing.
