The Drobo B800i is optimized for small
businesses to provide reliable and high
performance storage to servers running
applications like file services, data protection,
email, and server virtualization. It integrates
seamlessly into your TCP/IP network
infrastructure and utilizes the industry-standard
iSCSI protocol to provide simple, consolidated
storage for your servers.

BeyondRAID Technology
A Drobo B800i iSCSI array can hold up to 32TB
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, 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, all while protecting you from two
simultaneous drive failures.

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
is no need to reformat or migrate data from the
Drobo B800i, potentially saving you hours or
days of downtime

Smart Volumes and Thin
Provisioning
Create new volumes up to 16TB in seconds and
manage them over time with ease. The
innovative and timesaving 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.

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 and
VMware vSphere.

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.)
