It may depend on your supplier but I've seen HP left hand P4500 G2's with site replication licenses for considerably cheaper than your quote from Dell Raven. I actually found them to be nice easy units to manage as well. Far better than the Dell branded EMC that I've been using recently.
We are just testing Dell's at the moment but will be testing HP in the next few weeks and I'm visiting netapp on monday to look at there system.
Just thought i would throw it in there (as im quite late to the discussion) but we use Isilon for a lot of clients. Slightly different way of working but its damn good stuff!
I thought Isilon was off site storage?

Na you can use it local no problemo, we use it in video ingest and playout situations usually becuase of its high IOPs and ease of expansion.
Thats EMC's scaleout NAS isn't it ?

yes its EMC... for some reason I thought it was off site only! Don't know where I got that idea from.

Yeah, its a bit more than just a NAS though. Have a read of the site

whats the IOPS like on those boxes? Any good for heavy SQL loads?

Should be very good, they state 1.7 million for the S-Series on the website!
Might be worth having a look at BlueArc, never used them but they are supposed to be pretty good also.
