SAN Storage Arrays — Enterprise SAN & NAS

Dell, HP, and NetApp storage arrays for shared block and file storage

About SAN Storage Arrays

Storage Area Network (SAN) arrays provide shared, high-performance block storage for enterprise workloads like VMware datastores, Microsoft SQL databases, Oracle RAC clusters, and VDI environments. Unlike direct-attached storage (DAS), a SAN allows multiple servers to access the same storage pool over iSCSI (10GbE/25GbE) or Fibre Channel (16/32 Gb/s) networks, enabling features like live VM migration, snapshots, replication, and thin provisioning.

We carry both new and refurbished SAN and NAS arrays from the major enterprise storage vendors. Refurbished arrays come with full testing, fresh firmware, and a Pro Disk Network warranty — making enterprise storage accessible at 40-70% below new pricing.

Enterprise Storage Platforms

  • Dell EqualLogic PS6210 — iSCSI SAN with auto-tiering, ideal for VMware/Hyper-V
  • Dell Compellent SC4020/SC7020 — enterprise SAN with data progression and Live Volume
  • Dell PowerVault ME4/ME5 — entry-level SAN/DAS with SAS/iSCSI connectivity
  • HP MSA 2050/2060 — dual-controller SAS/iSCSI array, excellent for SMB
  • HP 3PAR StoreServ 8200/8400 — enterprise all-flash and hybrid arrays
  • NetApp FAS2750/FAS8300 — unified SAN/NAS with ONTAP, SnapMirror, and FlexClone

SAN deployment requires careful planning of connectivity (iSCSI vs FC), redundancy (dual controllers, multipath I/O), and capacity. Schedule a free consultation with our storage architects to design the right solution for your environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between SAN and NAS?

A SAN provides block-level storage over iSCSI or Fibre Channel — the server sees raw LUNs/volumes and formats them with its own filesystem (NTFS, VMFS, ext4). A NAS provides file-level storage over NFS or SMB/CIFS — the storage array manages the filesystem and serves files directly. Some platforms like NetApp ONTAP are "unified" and can serve both block (SAN) and file (NAS) protocols simultaneously.

Should I choose iSCSI or Fibre Channel?

iSCSI runs over standard Ethernet (10GbE/25GbE) and is easier to deploy, less expensive, and sufficient for most SMB and mid-market workloads. Fibre Channel (16/32 Gb/s) offers dedicated, lossless fabric with lower latency and is preferred for mission-critical databases, large-scale VMware environments, and workloads requiring guaranteed IOPS. If you already have a Fibre Channel infrastructure, continue using it. For new deployments, iSCSI over 25GbE is increasingly competitive with FC.

Is refurbished SAN storage reliable?

Yes, when sourced from a reputable dealer. Enterprise SAN arrays are designed for 5-7 year lifecycles with redundant controllers, hot-spare drives, and predictive failure monitoring. We fully test every array, update firmware to the latest supported version, replace any degraded drives, and provide a warranty. Refurbished enterprise storage is far more reliable than consumer NAS devices, and the 40-70% cost savings make it an excellent value for growing businesses.
