I guess it depends on your definition of "reasonable" ;-) The smallest silver-edition license you can buy is 1100 bucks onetime and 65 renewal every year. Personally, I would really try to find the funding for a "real" SUN Open/Integrated Storage - even if Oracle have probably hiked the prices now. Those S7000s can do everything (NFS, CIFS, iSCSI, FC) and very fast.
