Data storage

Hello,
There are 50 servers with two 1 Gbit uplinks on local and external networks. Each server has 2x 2 TB SSD drives. Are there technologies that can combine them into one disk space, and at the same time, each server could be a file distribution server?
In theory: If we take into account the redundancy of storage 1 + 1, then we have a distributed array of 50x 2 TB = 90 TB with a total throughput of 50x 1 Gbit = 50 Gbit.
Update: Storage is more or less clear Gluster, Ceph. It remains unclear whether it is possible to make each server a distribution server as well. How is it implemented? I would like to get a distributed distribution, but apparently, these are all fantasies.

Perhaps Glusterfs or other network file systems with replication are suitable for the task

What is the problem on each server to mount a shared volume and distribute it with the protocol you need?
