Seeking Recommendations: 50TB Storage Server and 1–2 Encoding Servers

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for recommendations for reliable hosting providers and server configurations for a video hosting platform.

I need the following servers:

1. Storage Server

At least 50TB of usable storage
Preferably HDD-based storage for cost efficiency
Reliable hardware and good network connectivity
High monthly bandwidth allowance or unmetered traffic
RAID or another solution for data redundancy is preferred

2. Encoding Servers (1–2 Servers)

Suitable for video transcoding and encoding
CPU-based encoding or GPU hardware acceleration
Good performance for processing multiple videos simultaneously
Reliable network connectivity

A few questions:

Which hosting providers would you recommend for these requirements?
What server configurations offer the best price-to-performance ratio?
Would you recommend dedicated servers, or a combination of dedicated servers and storage servers?
What monthly budget should I expect for this setup?

I'm open to providers in Europe or the US, as long as the pricing and network performance are competitive.

Any recommendations based on your experience would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
