We are building a CMS but the server infrastructure is based on load balancing where we'll have one centralized DB Server connected with two Application Servers i.e. Server A and B.
Traffic will be distributed on a round robin technique to server A and B which means, one request to Server A, next to Server B and so on.
My question is about the Media files (images, pdfs, videos etc), can we store these files to an external storage? For example another server to host Media files in order to have to accessible to both application servers. Can anyone confirm if this is possible with umbraco or how to do this?

Yes this is possible. Umbraco has documentation available for a few common scenarios.

In addition to what Jason referenced, using S3 makes that super easy with a package like this: https://our.umbraco.com/packages/collaboration/umbraco8-simple-aws-s3/
