BeyondRAID Technology
A Drobo B800i iSCSI array can hold up to 24TB of raw storage and beyond.
To add capacity, simply insert a new hard drive or replace your smallest
drive with a larger one, even when all drive bays are full. Unlike
traditional RAID systems, the BeyondRAID technology in Drobo enables you to
leverage different drive capacities, allowing for continuous expansion as
larger drives become available. With Drobo, expansion is automatic and
instantaneous and access to data is always maintained.
Smart Volumes with Thin Provisioning
Create new volumes up to 16TB in seconds and manage them over time with
ease. The innovative and time-saving Smart Volume management technology with
Thin Provisioning integrated into the Drobo B800i allows volumes to pull
storage from the common pool of disks rather than a specific physical disk
allocation. The labor of resizing and migrating volumes is replaced with the
simplicity of intelligent engineering.
Protection from Two Drive Failures
Enable the dual-drive redundancy option to protect your data from failure
of up to two hard drives. It's all done with a single click and without ever
losing access to your data. Running out of space? Switch back to
single-drive redundancy at any time. Unlike moving between traditional RAID
5 and RAID 6, there's no need to reformat or migrate data from the Drobo
B800i, potentially saving you hours or days of downtime.
Optimizing Business Applications
Similar to business applications, Drobo is ideal for building your first
scalable backup server or server virtualization cluster. It has been
certified for Symantec Backup Exec, Veeam Backup, VMware vSphere, and Citrix
XenServer environments.
About iSCSI SANs
Unfamiliar with iSCSI? It’s a high-performance protocol that’s become
extremely popular storage networking technology in IT environments, but it
can often be complex to manage. Drobo B800i changes that by introducing
zero-click iSCSI configuration for both Windows and Mac OS X servers.
With an iSCSI SAN, centralized storage is provided to each server over a
high-speed Ethernet network and storage can be allocated or expanded
instantaneously. Also, no single server can tie up free space and there are
fewer storage devices to maintain.
Rack Mount Ready, Desktop Quiet
Drobo B800i can be deployed in a server room for IT use or on a desktop
for workgroup sharing of storage, thanks to its compact design and quiet
operation. Dual smart fans automatically manage their speeds to optimize
cooling and minimize operating noise. (Drobo B800i Rack Mount sold
separately.)
