Database Driven Website using SAN

We want to develop database driven website. because of enormous amount
of data (300GB)
customers's tech advisor is insisting on using SAN instead of direct
attached storage method.
I want to know what issues need to be considered while using SAN in
web solutions.? Which database
server/ product is best suited for such kind of job ? Can anyone
suggests
good informative articles on this subject , available on web.

Thanks in advance

Basically any full featured RDBMS product like Oracle or MS SQL Server will
be fine. As far as using a SAN with those, you'll need to follow-up in the
appropriate RDBMS forums ...

In addition to what Tom posted, there should be no issues in a web solution,
or any other application, directly related to using a SAN. The SAN
basically handles IO and storage transparently. Most SAN products are
designed to support IO-intensive environments and have features (sometimes
additional $) for managing large volumes of data, particularly
backup/restore and disaster recovery.
