Built on proven Beyond RAID™ technology, the Drobo B800i delivers award-winning i SCSI SAN storage & advanced capabilities usually reserved for more expensive enterprise solutions. In fact, the Drobo B800i recently won the Editor's Choice Award from Storage Review. The Drobo B800i is optimized for small businesses to provide reliable & high-performance storage to servers running applications like file services, data protection, email, & server virtualization. It integrates seamlessly into your TCP/IP network infrastructure & utilizes the industry-standard i SCSI protocol to provide simple, consolidated storage for your servers. Features Up to 8 x 3.5” SATA I/II/III hard disk drives (sold separately) Seamless integration into TCP/IP network infrastructure Beyond RAID™ technology with single- or dual-drive redundancy Certified for Symantec Backup Exec, Veeam Backup, VMware v Sphere, Citrix Xen Server environments Ethernet features connection failover & jumbo frames (up to 9000 bytes MTU) Innovative & time saving smart volume management Integrated thin provisioning Dual, fixed cooling fans Supports NTFS, FAT32, HFS+, ext 3, VMFS, & LVM file systems (please see full

Specification for further details) 2 year warranty Beyond RAID Technology A Drobo B800i i SCSI array can hold up to 24TB of raw storage & 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 systems, the Beyond RAID technology in Drobo enables you to leverage different drive capacities, allowing for continuous expansion as larger drives become available. With Drobo, expansion is automatic & instantaneous & access to data is always maintained. Smart Volumes with Thin Provisioning Create new volumes up to 16TB in seconds & manage them over time with ease. The innovative & time-saving 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 & migrating volumes is replaced with the simplicity of intelligent engineering. 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 & 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 & RAID 6, there's no need to reformat or migrate data from the Drobo B800i, potentially saving you hours or days of downtime. 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, VMware v Sphere, & Citrix Xen Server environments. About i SCSI SANs Unfamiliar with i SCSI? It’s a high-performance protocol that’s become extremely popular storage networking technology in IT environments, but it can often be complex to manage. Drobo B800i changes that by introducing zero-click i SCSI configuration for both Windows & Mac OS X servers. With an i SCSI SAN, centralized storage is provided to each server over a high-speed Ethernet network & storage can be allocated or expanded instantaneously. Also, no single server can tie up free space & there are fewer storage devices to maintain. Learn more about i SCSI SANs. 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 & quiet operation. Dual smart fans automatically manage their speeds to optimize cooling & minimize operating noise. (Drobo B800i Rack Mount sold separately.) Which Drives Are Right for my Drobo? Drobo gives you the flexibility to use a wide variety of drive types & capacities, but with many drive options to choose from, the process of getting the ideal drive is challenging. Not all drives are the same & if you do not choose the right one, your Drobo's performance may not meet your expectations.
