Definitely would recommend this unit or this family of units into most peoples organizations. Especially if you're starting fresh with a whole dedicated SAN and dont have to move a ton of data over to these (though that is possible, it is very messy). If you're moving from existing storage, then you will have to be prepared for some sore spots!

This storage is well suited for large scale database and application where need more storage capacity and high data I/O performance to run smooth.

Stacks up very well. In storage bake off's, evaluating these products as a whole, PowerMax normally outpaces the vast majority.
