Seconded. Mgmt is hellbent on EMC. The storage (for tier 1) is over $10k/TB when you include the shelf and whatever else is needed.
On the other hand, there are nice little 2U and 3U SAN's from companies like IBM which use SAS disk that mere mortals can afford. Less than $2k/TB for SAS and way less for SATA.

Until you see the price tag for a SAN HDD that needs replaced. At least for the SAN we have here as the price per GB is lousy compared to standard SAS drives. Don't get me wrong, we use a decent size SAN here (a few TB's IIRC), but if we had to replace a HDD off warranty...ouch.
