I've heard good things about EqualLogic iSCSI arrays, but I've not
implemented them myself.

Network Appliance makes appliances that can be NFS, CIFS, iSCSI or
Fibre-Channel. I've administered many NFS-only and NFS/CIFS Netapps in
the past, but I've never ventured into the iSCSI or FC arena with their
devices. If you can afford their product, it's a good one.

Of course, EMC has some well-known active/passive (Clariion) and
active/active (Symmetrix or DMX) arrays, but they tend to be _very_
expensive.
