First, let me point out I'm no IT expert.

I think you're trying to add a lot of complexity you don't need. Only the largest boards need to split stuff among different servers. It can cause a LOT of headaches.

More likely, if your board is getting successful, you just need a better hosting package. Presumably you started on shared, now you have to consider VPS and then a dedicated server.

What you may be thinking is that you can get a cheap shared account nowadays that offers like 200 gigs of storage. But in fact they really don't. Read the TOS and you'll see that if you try to store pics there it's a violation. Reason being, they don't want you clogging a shared server with your traffic.
