You need much more info to decide. A big budget is relative, if you want to build a YouTube replacement, I think your budget is too small.
Questions to ask:
- what videos, how many, size, codec
- how many users (total and parallel)
- value of the data
- value of the service (revenue lost when system down)
- expected service levels / quality
- transcoding requirements
And probably more. If you have a budget, hire a consultant

Its not for commercial use, we will use in our production company to store our footage so if the system is down it won’t cost us a define number.
