Let's see, you don't want a central file server because that
introduces a single point of failure? Then what are you
going to do with your data and products? Store the source
code of your product scattered over hundreds of PC's? Not
use a database server at all? Let me tell you, you will lose
far more than one workday if a PC goes down if you do it that
way.
The "single point of failure" has been a known issue for a long, long time. And it has been solved for a long, long time: you'd use a cluster. Many vendors write cluster software, and it works very well in practise. File servers are really easy to cluster, you can have one up and running in less than a day.
