technology,
coupled with new and innovative Automated
Data-Aware Tiering, the Drobo B1200i delivers
a level of automation and technical sophis-
tication usually reserved for more expensive
enterprise solutions. All in a product as easy
to use as a Drobo.
The Drobo B1200i is optimized for SMB IT to
provide reliable, high-performance, and self-
optimizing storage for server virtualization,
email, and data protection. It integrates seam-
lessly into your TCP/IP network infrastructure
and utilizes the industry-standard iSCSI protocol
to provide powerful, yet simple, consolidated
storage for your IT environment.

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, allow-
ing 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 busi-
nesses 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 applica-
tions that have different storage requirements.

tions 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.

management technology with Thin Provision-
ing integrated into the Drobo B1200i 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 intel-
ligent engineering.

Optimizing Business Applications
Similar to business applications, Drobo is
ideal for building your first server virtualization
cluster, highly available email server, or scal-
able backup server. Drobo technology has been
certified for VMware vSphere, Citrix XenServer,
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 ad-
vance in case of a single hardware component
failure, to ensure high uptimes. This delivers
the higher level of availability demanded by
virtualized IT environments.

Drobo Dashboard
Drobo Dashboard is the single tool to
centrally manage all of your Drobos.
Drobo Dashboard displays status as if
all of your Drobos were right in front
of you with the same status lights and
capacity gauge that are on the front
panel. All administration tasks are
a single click away and there’s even
a built-in data protection tool called
Drobo Copy to easily copy data to
and from your Drobo. Simply, it’s the
easiest way to configure and manage
business-class storage.
