Another solution you might want to consider is to use solaris. The new ZFS filesystem supports snapshots and lots of other neat things.
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/faq/ You could buy a big sun box like: http://www.sun.com/servers/x64/x4500/ though sun can be a pain to deal with. Or you could piece together your own solution from commodity hardware. Using it as a NFS server works really well, but if you need iSCSI, I can't speak to it.
