DroboPro™ is the first business class direct-attached storage array
that manages itself. Engineered to be both simple and scalable, the
revolutionary BeyondRAID™ technology incorporated into DroboPro frees
businesses of making the difficult and confining 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 do, don’t panic. You’re experiencing the peace of mind
that comes with every Drobo® product.

Up to 8 Disks of Instant
Expansion to 16TB and Beyond
Grow your storage in line with your data capacity 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 DroboPro
enables you to mix n’ match disk brands, capacities and speeds.
This allows continuous expansion as disk capacities grow.
With DroboPro expansion is automatic, instantaneous and access
to data is always maintained. |

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:
- iSCSI (utilizes Gigabit Ethernet)
- FireWire 800
- Hi-Speed USB 2.0
Unfamiliar
with iSCSI? It’s a high performance protocol that has
become extremely popular with businesses, but it can often
be complex to manage. DroboPro changes that by introducing
zero click iSCSI connection establishment for both Windows
and OS X.

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 migrating volumes
is replaced with the simplicity of intelligent engineering. |

Rack Mount Ready, Desktop
Quiet
DroboPro is equally at home in a rack mount environment
as it is on your desktop. Dual smart fans automatically manage
their speeds to optimize both cooling and operating noise.
