The standard rule applies to SANs as it applies to everything else:
good, fast, cheap.  Pick any 2.

There are a LOT of choices out there and all will have their tradeoffs
in one of the three above.  You need to be clear in what your
requirements are - number of TB you need, what kind of access (high
access database, low access archives, etc), price point you're after,
etc.  There's no single place I've seen that let you pick and choose
your solution.  I've seen solutions from tens of thousands to multiples
of millions.  Although they're both SANs, they're not in the same
class...
