The powerful 8-bay B800i model adds Data-Aware Tiering and redundant, hot-swappable components to ensure maximum performance and high-availability of business applications. Like with business applications, Drobo B800i is ideal for building your first server virtualization cluster and had been certified for VMware vSphere and Citrix Xen Server environments. Drobo B800i is also a cost-effective way to provide reliable storage for your backup server and has been certified for use with Symantec Backup Exec. The Drobo B800i provides enterprise-level data safety and expandability in a virtualized architecture that is both self-managing and self-repairing. The dual iSCSI ports and performance enhancements deliver best-in-class performance, ideal for consolidating storage or adding capacity to both virtualized and non-virtualized computing environments.

The iSCSI Drobo B800i can hold up to 16 TB of raw storage and 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 BeyondRAID 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, and access to data is always maintained.


Drobo can protect from single or dual drive failures and has a virtual hot spare capability - ensuring all drives are used at all times. For added security and peace of mind, the Drobo Care service and support program extends your standard warranty terms for 3 years and beyond. With DroboCare, we're always here to answer your call and if something happens to go wrong, we'll send you a replacement Drobo right away.
