Introducing DroboPro
™
, the first business class storage array that manages itself. Engineered to be both simple
and scalable, the revolutionary BeyondRAID
™
technology incorporated into DroboPro frees businesses from making the difficult and confin-
ing choices commonly associated with storage management. Why trade simplicity for safety, or stability for expandability? DroboPro delivers
both enterprise-level data safety and unprecedented expandability, featuring single and dual disk redundancy combined with instant
capacity expansion. Once you experience DroboPro, you just might forget the differences between all eleven traditional RAID levels. If you

Up to 8 Disks of Instant Expansion to 16TB and Beyond
Grow your storage in line with your data capac-
ity needs with minimal effort. To add capacity,
simply insert a new hard disk or replace your
ity needs with minimal effort. To add capacity,
simply insert a new hard disk or replace your
smallest disk with a larger one, even when all
eight-disk bays are full. Unlike traditional RAID
systems, the BeyondRAID technology found in

automatic, instantaneous and access to data is always main-
tained.
No Headache Dual Disk Redundancy
Enable the Dual Disk Redundancy option to protect
against the simultaneous failure of up to two hard disks.
It’s all done with a single click, without ever losing access
to your data. Running out of space? You can even switch back to
single disk redundancy with a click. For instance, unlike moving
between RAID 5 and RAID 6, there’s no need to reformat or migrate
data off of the array, potentially saving you hours or days.

Triple Interface Featuring iSCSI
Attach DroboPro directly to the server or workstation that requires
storage or to a shared server or workstation on your network that
can provide access to multiple clients. Interface options include:

The Virtues of Smart Volumes
™
Create new volumes in seconds and manage up to 16 x 16TB
volumes over time with ease. The innovative and timesaving Smart
Volume management technology integrated into DroboPro allows
volumes to pull storage from the common pool of disks rather than
a specific physical disk allocation. The labor of resizing and migrat-
ing volumes is replaced with the simplicity of intelligent
volumes over time with ease. The innovative and timesaving Smart

DroboPro. Storage That Manages Itself.
BeyondRAID leverages the same underlying data protection methodolo-
gies as traditional RAID, including mirroring and striping with parity;
however, BeyondRAID applies these algorithms on top of a robust and
flexible storage virtualization platform. This allows for the removal of the
limitations and drawbacks normally associated with RAID.
