B1200i
Built on proven BeyondRAID technology, this is applicationoptimized storage for small and medium sized businesses
Built on proven BeyondRAID TM technology, coupled with hybrid storage and innovative data tiering, the
Drobo B1200i delivers a level of automation and technical sophistication usually reserved for more expensive enterprise solutions. And, this product is as easy to use as a personal Drobo.
The Drobo B1200i is perfect for small and medium sized businesses. It provides reliable, high-performance, and self-optimizing storage for server virtualization, email, and data protection.
It integrates seamlessly into a TCP/IP network infrastructure and utilizes the industry-standard iSCSI protocol to provide powerful, yet simple, consolidated storage for your IT environment. enables businesses to consolidate storage resources, and share that storage across all connected servers and their applications.
When using the hybrid storage option, Drobo leverages high-capacity hard disk drives (HDDs) and high-performance solid state drives (SSDs) to deliver application-optimized storage solution that requires no manual tuning.
Storage Pools
Drobo B1200i storage pools have increased as disk drive suppliers have grown the capacity of their Enterprise quality SAS and SATA drives.
This Drobo supports a storage pool of 256TBs.
BeyondRAID Technology
A Drobo B1200i iSCSI array can hold up to 96TB of raw storage. To expand the storage capacity of an array, BeyondRAID enables additional disk drives to be inserted into empty drive bays. These new drives will automatically and transparently be configured for use in the array without user intervention. However, if all drive bays are occupied, simply replace the smallest capacity drive with a higher capacity one and
BeyondRAID will do the rest.
Unlike traditional RAID arrays, the BeyondRAID technology in Drobo enables different drive capacities to work in the same unit. This enables future expansion as larger SAS and SATA drives become available. With Drobo, access to data is always maintained while it protects against simultaneous drive failures.
Smart Volumes & Thin Provisioning
Quickly create new volumes, up to 64TB in size, and manage them with ease. The innovative and timesaving Smart Volumes TM management technology with Thin Provisioning integrated into the Drobo B1200i allows the creation of up to 255 volumes. These volumes pull storage from the common pool of disks rather than silo’s of physical disks.
Optimizing Business Applications
Similar to business applications, Drobo is ideal for building a server virtualization cluster, highly available email server, or scalable backup server.
Drobo technology has been certified for VMware vSphere, Symantec Backup Exec, and Veeam
Backup environments.
Hybrid Storage & Tiering
The Drobo B1200i moves beyond manually tuning an array for applications that have different storage requirements. Its ability to automatically tier frequently used transactional data from stored data that’s seldom used
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 advance, to protect against a single hardware component
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. Simply, it’s the easiest way to configure and manage business-class storage.
failure. This ensures maximum uptimes and delivers a higher level of availability demanded by virtualized IT environments.
