EMC has a product called Celerra Highroad (part of our NAS offering) that
does what you're looking for. The Celerra is attached to the Symmetrix disk
array, and fields file requests made via standard NFS (or CIFS) protocol.
The data is returned to the NFS client (in your case, the Sun servers)
accross the SAN. (Actually, if the files are too small to benefit from the
SAN,  they are sent back across the network; big files are returned via the
SAN.) The advantages of this approach are:
    File access is controlled with normal NFS file permissions so it is easy
to manage access, including Write access.
    Machines that aren't SAN connected can still access the files via normal
NFS.
    Data path is dynamically chosen (LAN or SAN) for optimum performance.
