I find it interesting that most DI shops seem to use SAN/storage 
products from companies which specifically market to the DI market. 
This is in spite of the fact that if one looks a bit further, there 
are similar products available from the "IT" industry at large with 
similar capabilities and form factor.  The main difference seems to be 
that the companies which cater to DI have validated their products 
specifically for DI, but (most importantly), speak the lingo of the 
industry.
