The three most critical pieces of info are missing here:

1) Do you mean 1,000 human users, or 1,000 machines doing NFS/CIFS mounts?

2) How many of the users are likely to be active at the same time? 1,000
users, each of whom are active an hour a week is entirely different from
200 users that are each active 140 hours a week.

3) What SLA/performance target are they expecting?  If they want
large 1TB I/O and 100MB/sec is acceptable, that's different than if they
have a business need to go at 1.2GB/sec....
