I don't know if I can offer much help, but looking into the SAS-FC bridge used in metro cluster with SAS shelves may be helpful to you.

You could use switches to extend the reach, see: http://www.lsi.com/channel/products/storagecomponents/Pages/LSISAS6160Switch...
Alternatively a fibre channel to sas bridge could be used, like http://www.attotech.com/products/category.php?id=2&catid=4

Is there such a thing as SAS patch panels? I may have to go beyond the standard cable lengths to another area of the datacenter.. Has anyone had to get a workaround for this? I think the latest SAS length is 15M or 20M.
Thanks
