There is an automated built-in failover mechanism, but you must build it yourself if you have no support contract in place.
LizardFS allows storing data across several nodes (which run on commodity hardware, even inside virtual machines) and also has a built-in HA mechanism. This works very well if failover can be done in a manual or simple way (e.g. by using Pacemaker). Also there is an automated built-in failover mechanism if you are ready to spend money for a support contract (it is not expensive, though). Update: After having tested the commercial failover mechanism which comes with signing the support contract or a software demo I can say that it works as expected. It is easy to manage and just seems to work. To be fair I have to state that I didn't use it in production yet, only within tests. But it looks very good.
