I still think NetApp has a shot with large storage solutions. I got the chance to intern at one of the newer companies last summer and most of their products revolved around a hybrid solution of flash and hard disk. One of the customers kept asking about a storage heavy solution as opposed to having more flash. Their solution was to buy more appliances which may not be ideal for everyone.
So at the end of the day, if you still need lots of disk, I suppose NetApp has a lot to offer.
