BeyondRAID Technology
A Drobo B1200i iSCSI array can hold up to 36TB
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.

Automated Data-Aware Tiering
Automated Data-Aware Tiering allows
businesses to consolidate storage resources and
share that storage across all connected servers
and their applications. The Drobo B1200i moves
beyond manually tuning an array for applications
that have different storage requirements.

Automated Data-Aware Tiering leverages
high-capacity hard disk drives (HDDs) paired
with high-performance solid state drives (SSDs)
to deliver application-optimized storage that
requires no manual tuning.

Smart Volumes & Thin Provisioning
Create new volumes up to 16TB in seconds
and manage them over time with ease. The
innovative and time-saving Smart Volumes™
management technology with Thin Provisioning
integrated into the Drobo B1200i allows volumes
to pull storage from the common pool of disks
rather than a specific physical disk allocation.

Optimizing Business Applications
Similar to business applications, Drobo is ideal
for building your first server virtualization cluster,
highly available email server, or scalable backup
server. Drobo technology has been certified for
VMware vSphere, Symantec Backup Exec, and
Veeam Backup environments.

Designed for IT Environments
The B1200i is the first Drobo with serviceable
modular components: removable controller card;
dual-redundant, hot-swappable power supplies;
and a hot-swappable cooling fan unit. You can
source field replaceable units in advance in
case of a single hardware component failure,
to ensure maximized uptimes. This delivers
the higher level of availability demanded by
virtualized IT environments.
