The storage vendors are missing the boat. They still think in terms of a homogenous environment. Gone are the days of the mainframe, guys. Wake up. When you release a product you have to expect to be used with other storage products. Storage on demand, utility storage, and seamless management of heterogeneous SAN environment is still a dream. The reason it is still a dream is that storage vendor have not completely bought into software driven storage outside of the disk operating environment.
