a proper SAN has two switches, each host connected to it has two HBA 
interfaces, there are two redundant storage controllers with mirrored 
cache, dual paths from each controller to all the storage, and redundant 
power supplies throughout.   there is no single point of failure 
there.    of course, none of this is cheap.
