Looking for System performance tools

  Hi,
  I have installed RedHat OS version 3 on a Dell 2500 machine.
  The system has 2 CPU's and 2GB memory. This machine is used only as
  Archiving (to store information transferred from users via ftp and
  nfs - no interactive login). It is connected with san to 2 disk arrays.
  One disk array is 1KM away from the machine for which 1Gb connection
  used. The other disk array is in the same wrack as the computer.The users
first 
  transfer data to the disk (via ftp,nfs) and then
  after a predefined time interval the files are transferred to tape(LTO).
  I see often the load(with top) of the machine very high. Upto 14 to 20.
  Is there any tool with which I can findout the bottleneck of the problem:
  traffic between disk and tape, memory and disk etc. Is it possible to 
  measure the network performance of the disk array 1Km away from the
machine?
  When I look the top out, I see that the memory is not much used. Both the
CPU
  are 60-70% used. What commands can I use to find out the bottleneck?
  We are using 1Gb connection from machine.This is the output from dmesg
command:
