By reliable, I mean performant storage engine which offers data  
replication, and distribution on
multiple nodes as S3 supports.

Our data are important, and very expensive to re-compute, so we can't  
use anything "unreliable"
to save them. Actually, we want to move from S3 to something free and  
well designed.

I'll have a deeper look to CouchDB.

Thanks for all guys.
