Built on proven BeyondRAID technology, this is application- 
optimized storage for small and medium sized businesses
Built on proven BeyondRAID
 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. 
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 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.
