Anyone considered hooking that Power Blade to SAN-in-the-cloud? A little far-fetched, but VIOS might facilitate it.

No such things. SANs are attached using high-speed links. Low speed,
entry SANs use 1 Gigabit iSCSI. They're not supported for attachment
to the IBM i, though.

It only gets faster from there. 4 Gigabit FC, 8 Gigabit FC and 10
Gigabit iSCSI. Oh, and latency matters. 10 Gigabit iSCSI with 50ms
storage latency ain't fun.
