Leave Your Limitations
Behind�Go BeyondRAID�
Built on our award-winning
BeyondRAID technology, the Drobo 5C 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 BeyondRAID
are also self-healing and 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, and when you need more storage,
simply replace your smallest drive with a larger one and
immediately use that capacity in seconds. You can even mix and
match drive brands, capacities and 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. Additionally, as data is deleted, free capacity is
returned to that common pool, immediately increasing the
available capacity.
BeyondRAID along with Smart
Volumes deliver next-generation storage technology by bringing
together enhanced data protection, reliability, expandability,
and ease-of-use
Enhanced Backup for Time
Machine
Time Machine and Drobo: A Perfect
Pairing
Apple's Time Machine was designed to make backing up your files
simple and painless. Pairing Time Machine with Drobo improves
your data protection by ensuring your data is safe in the event
of hard drive failure.
Control How Much Storage Time
Machine Uses
Apple's guidelines are to set the storage space for Time Machine
at twice the size of the Mac's hard drive that is to be
protected. Time Machine users know that it will gradually use
all available disk space without an easy way to stop this from
happening. With Drobo you can easily control the maximum storage
space available for Time Machine backups through Drobo
Dashboard. When you install a Drobo, Drobo Dashboard prompts to
see if you want to create a dedicated storage volume for Time
Machine's use, allowing you to set the size of this volume.
Upgrading With the
Remarkable Drobo 5C
Once you experience how easy it is to use a Drobo you'll know
there is nothing that compares � but that isn't the only
remarkable thing about it.
Drobo takes upgradability to the
next level. Not only can you upgrade capacity with no downtime
by adding new drives or replacing smaller drives with larger
ones, you can seamlessly upgrade to a new Drobo 5C by simply
removing the disk pack from your current system, and moving it
to a new Drobo 5C. Upgrading not only gives you an instant
performance or capacity boost, but also delivers all the other
benefits of the new Drobo.
Power Protecting Your
Critical Data
The Drobo 5C doesn't just protect you from a drive failure, but
also from potential data loss after a power outage. In every
Drobo we include battery backup technology that protects all
data in memory or cache. When power spontaneously goes away,
Drobo moves any in flight data to onboard flash in your Drobo so
it will be protected and moved to your disk drives once power is
restored. This ensures your important information is safe and
sound. Even better, your battery recharges itself and is
designed to last for the life of your Drobo 5C.
