THis is a question of intent and expected future growth of not only the app but the business you are supporting. If there is a high growth potential of the business with a requirement for hig performance then I would invest in a EMC and throw in a Mcdata Fiber switch. If this is the case, then a netbackup solution should natually follow given its benefits of backing up and enterprise environment (hot backups, incremental backups, etc.).
This configuration will lend its itself much better to adding systems,clustering for ha, application clustering, performance, etc.
Your concern of reliability is addressed with dual paths to the EMC (preferibly on different PCI cards) using DMP on the Host.
