I'm not really sure why they went this direction. There are a few other things that are making me shake my head and several red flags were raised during our initial meeting. We won't be back for a couple of weeks but I think that a large budget and a lack of understanding lead to their current infrastructure.
More than likely asked a "expert" and mentioned HA. sales men (i mean experts) seem to like SAN's!!!! no idea why ($$$$$)

I often say that budgets as a general case are bad things, but more often than not it is over budgeting, not under, that seems to really screw companies over. Give people a million dollars that they don't get to take home with them and they are going to find a way to spend it every time. No matter how little they need to spend it.

Quick update, We went onsite yesterday to install a device and couldn't get a connection. Come to find out there is no DHCP. It's all static and managed on a spreadsheet.

Sure, if by secure you mean totally not - then yeah - it's secure

If you mean the SAN (as in Storage Area Network, not the SAN Devices) was all static, that is completly normal. You don't normally put DHCP in SANs

Hopefully the SAN is on it's own network too - no reason it should be on the normal LAN network.

Yeah You need own network with switches meant for iscsi
