Never mind, I did my homework...

Studio Network Solutions EVO 2.0
 

Looks like new things have come to the rescue:

It comes with 4 licenses for their own software (but can use MetaSAN too). Seems like a very decent way to go, (though at $19,000 it's still high for some of us non-profit types).

Since a single Evo can take the place of a storage array, a file server, a network switch and a Fibre Channel to iSCSI bridge, and with expansion for up to 32 TB, it sure looks attractive...
