Are SANs just a conglomeration of RAIDS?

I am looking at the disk portion and not the microfiber and or fabric
layers.  I have to write large sized pdfs to a san and it is socking my
process bigtime.  I have IT guys and they are looking into it and as they do
I want to know enough to stop them from blowing smoke up my...

>From the RAID pov I think they have a single spindle or at most 2.  They
bought it for STORAGE of our customers files so having a TON of space was
critical.

My application hits this storage for reading the files and preparing them
for printing as well as saving the customers base postscript that they
uploaded to us.

I see this all being done on a single spindle and that activity choking in
the near future.

Or am I totally wrong and it's done differently ?

TIA
