Drobo DR-B810I-3A31 8TB (8 X 1TB WD RED) 8 Bay Desktop SAN

Product Description

The Drobo B810i disrupts IT economics by delivering advanced i SCSI SAN storage capabilities reserved for expensive enterprise solutions. It is optimized for small & medium-sized businesses that don’t have dedicated IT support & it is used to simplify & consolidate both physical & virtual storage in a single array with “on-demand” ability to scale both capacity & performance. With Data-Aware Tiering, the B810i’s ability to automatically tier frequently used transactional data from stored data that’s seldom used enables businesses to consolidate storage resources, & share that storage across all connected clients & their applications. The B810i model allows for a more effective work collaboration, the storage of creative workflows, & a trustworthy, easy-to-use backup system. Leave Your Limitations Behind… Go Beyond RAID Built on our award-winning Beyond RAID technology, the Drobo B810i protects your data without any intervention – even in the event of multiple drive failures. You can even switch from single to dual disk redundancy with a single click, ensuring enterprise-level dual parity data protection when required. Drobo’s with Beyond RAID are also self-healing & have virtual hot-spares. If a drive happens to fail, Drobo will automatically re-layout the data to return to a protected state without disruption. Drobo takes the up front guess work out of determining the amount of capacity you require. Buy the capacity you need today, & when you need more storage, simply replace your smallest drive with a larger one & immediately use that capacity in seconds. You can even mix & match drive brands, capacities & speeds. To further enhance your experience, every Drobo comes with Smart Volume technology. Smart Volumes are thinly provisioned volumes that automatically utilize capacity as needed from a common pool of storage. in addition, as data is deleted, free capacity is returned to that common pool, immediately increasing the available capacity. Beyond RAID along with Smart Volumes deliver next-generation storage technology by bringing together enhanced data protection, reliability, expandability, & ease-of-use. Pain Free Expansion Expanding your storage capacity with a Drobo couldn’t be easier. There’s no long, risky process to add capacity to a Drobo – no need to go through the time consuming & complex administration of destroying your RAID sets & recreating with larger drives; & then finally restoring from your backup. When it’s time to add storage capacity to a Drobo, simply insert additional disk drives or replace the smallest disks with larger ones. The unique, carrier-less drive-bay design results in efficient & pain free scalability that won’t leave you running out of space when you need it most. If you’re running low on space, the lights on the front of the Drobo B810i tell you exactly what to do. The innovative, user-friendly industrial design means that you can add or hot-swap larger capacity drives, without tools, on the fly, for storage expansion with zero downtime. Expand your capacity without missing a beat while safely storing, sharing & backing up all your data with ease & peace of mind. It’s that simple! Automated Data-Aware Tiering The Drobo B810i moves beyond the days of 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. Data-Aware Tiering automatically & seamlessly migrates the most frequently accessed data to the faster SSD drives & the less accessed data to the high capacity hard disk drives. As data access patterns change, the data is automatically relocated to maximize performance while still benefiting from the large capacity drives. Build an i SCSI SAN with Drobo Unfamiliar with i SCSI? i SCSI is a popular high-performance protocol for deploying storage networking technology in IT environments. The problem: it can be very complex to manage. The Drobo B810i 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 Gigabit Ethernet network where it can be allocated or expanded instantaneously. Deploying a Drobo B810i eases i SCSI adoption, simplifies administration, & means that you can consolidate storage so you have fewer devices to manage. Optimized for Business The Drobo B810i is ideal for building your first scalable backup server or expanding your storage to your existing file servers. It integrates seamlessly into your TCP/IP network infrastructure & utilizes the industry-standard i SCSI protocol to provide simple, consolidated storage for your servers. Rack Mount Ready, Desktop Quiet Drobo B810i 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. You can even configure Drobo to spin down drives when they’re not in use to further reduce noise & save energy. (Drobo B810i Rack Mount sold separately.)
