Actually this is not really true. SAN may be faster than single disks, but you can create all sorts of striped disksets (RAIDs of various sorts), flash disks and caching controllers to achieve the same speed and throughput for a considerably lower price.
This is not to say that SAN is a bad idea in and of itself, but your setup seems to be intent not to use the advantages of a SAN anyway.
I hope this helps.

NAME
cfgetospeed(), cfsetospeed(), cfgetispeed(), cfsetispeed() - tty baud rate functions
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
These functions set and get the input and output speed codes in the termios structure referenced by termios_p. The termios structure con-
tains these speed codes representing input and output baud rates as well as other terminal related parameters. Setting the parameters on a
terminal file does not become effective until is successfully called.
returns the output speed code from the
termios structure referenced by termios_p.
sets the output speed code in the
termios structure referenced by termios_p to speed. The speed code for a baud rate of zero, is used to termi-
nate the connection. If is specified, the modem control lines are no longer asserted, which normally discon-
nects the line.
returns the input speed code from the
termios structure referenced by termios_p.
sets the input speed code in the
termios structure referenced by termios_p to speed.
RETURN VALUE
returns the output speed code from the termios structure referenced by termios_p.
returns the input speed code from the termios structure referenced by termios_p.
and return zero upon successful completion. Otherwise, they return -1 and set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
and fail when the following condition is encountered:
[EINVAL] The value of speed is outside the range of possible speed codes as specified in
WARNINGS
and can be used to set speed codes in the termios structure that are not supported by the terminal hardware.
