Our SAN has been used to replace a dozen or so real-time servers that held user files. No performance hit at all. We also can do fall over, and roll back of server databases and upgrades. It seems, at least with the one we have, that the features can be purchased a la carte, making the system flexible in that it can do what you want it to do.

Is it milli seconds? Seconds? Hours? Are SANS used for clustering, or are they merely used for archiving files? For instance are SANS used to replicate data from one server to another, so that if one server goes down, you can fail over to the other server.
