We have a 100TB NetApp SAN that hosts most of our production virtualised infrastructure. The storage guys say that it's very nice to administer, and the price is much less than a comparable EMC. Also, just about all of the NetApp kit uses the same hardware so you don't need to throw a bunch of stuff away if you decide you need to more spindles/shelves etc. We're using iSCSI rather than FC
