Hi, I agree with the feed back above. I have recently been involved in a lengthy project to review all SAN vendors on the market (both Generic and new Hybrid/Flash) and they basically all do the same thing. Some vendors have a few niche technologies/support here and there. It all comes down to what SAN technology is critical to your business/project i.e. DR, Think clones etc. and also the budget available to you. I found that doing a matrix of the critical 'functions' for your company and ticking them off against each SAN vendor to be very helpful in the final decision making process.
I would suggest that you talk to the various SAN vendors, ask for demo's and more importantly ask for reference sites. I found the reference sites to be very useful as they tell you want the SAN vendor sales people don't.
