Dc is common in high density computing. It can deliver power much more efficiently. You have large bus bars running through your racks. Rackable(now Sgi) builds systems like these. Sun now Oracle makes a lot of DC telcom versions of their systems. Don’t know about Storage though.

Is it common that Disk storage systems are able to use DC 48 volt power, or is this rare?

If my memory is working today, DC 48v power is common in the telecom community but rare everywhere else.  I would therefore expect that if you work with a reseller that sells into the telecom industry, they'd be expecting your queries.
