ZFS, in my case. It's designed to deal directly with the disks, and RAID arrays will mess with it. It has it's own parity, mirror, and caching capabilities, so it doesn't need all those functions on an ancillary discrete card.
There is also BTRFS, which is similar or it's supposed to be anyway.
KVM can dedicate raw disks to VMs. I think vSphere and Xen might be able to do the same thing, but I don't remember.
Alternately, the application could deal with spreading the data across the disks on it's own and incremental capacity is the only thing needed.
