SAN and NAS are architectures (or even components) in the storage market

Agreed, and I'd add another dimension for smaller users, remote storage. Verio/NTT has established technology gateways for small firms to give access to "big company" IT structures. One storage alliance is ArsenalDigital, which is funded by Sun and Veritas.

The gateway is linked to the client by fiber, and provides remote storage, high speed access to the outside world, transaction processing, etc. ArsenalDigital uses a Solaris 8 system and E450 servers, SAN shop, projecting 300mn storage events monthly. You pay for what you use, and you don't need to maintain an IT staff or storage expertise. I don't have price points yet. It almost seems like a horizontal expansion of the hosting services offered by Exodus, but with more value added elements available.
