Ugh, I managed to fatfinger-delete my parent comment, sorry.
(the essence was what you quoted: I claimed most people don't need these advanced SAN-features anymore because they don't need SANs in the traditional sense anymore)
Anyway, I'll just concede that OP aiming for feature-parity with commercial SAN's is indeed nonsensical.
The majority of mid to large sized companies run entirely on SANs
For large companies who bought into EMC/NetApp that may be true.
For small and mid-sized companies that's definitely not my experience.
