I wouldn't particularly say any hypervisor would be your best bet with this little info to go on....
For instance XenServer might make sense if you were running XenApp or XenDesktop VMWare is often the choice for "production" environments given the features it has and the product maturity, but I am sure its competitors are now catching up. However if it's a sandbox environment then one of the cheaper or free alternatives will do fine There are a vast amount of licensing considerations in the mix too... Are you looking to P2V existing servers or create new ones? Are you hosting sessions on these servers (i.e. RDS or Citrix), or are they just app servers? The use you make of the servers will dictate the sizing and performance you require The SAN question is a whole other kettle of fish, and one that has often started some interesting flame wars on this list :-) I think maybe a bit more info would help us guide you a bit better.
