A place to start to look at Drives/SANs to store Running VM Images

Message:

So we've done some testing and setup some VMs and are pretty happy with what
we have seen so far. Now the Next step is to get better Drives and or SAN
to support the VM Infrastructure.

Are there any articles or other recommendations that someone can point me to
for what I would need in terms of SAN storage?

For some basics of what I need...

We want to Virtualize about 6-8 servers running Win2003 & Win2008. Small SQL
Servers installed on a few. A few Web servers. Then some general Application
servers.

It would be great if we could use the same SAN for our Exchange and
Production SQL Servers.

Thanks,
Scott<-
