I've seen virtualized environments where every single scrap of disk is located on a SAN, because that's easier/cheaper/something-er for IT to manage.

While technically a SAN is networked storage, I read the OP's comment to indicate something more like a SMB share.

Our enterprise databases store the data on high-performance SAN devices, and these are not slow. We moved from local spinning-rust drives to SAN SSDs, and our performance improved.
