SAN or DAS or SBS, Easier Than It Sounds

Drobo storage and the power of BeyondRAID for growth and evolution for Small Business Server (SBS) solutions

As small businesses grow they eventually reach a point at which the demands of the business require specific IT server applications such as an email server. Microsoft makes the transition easier by providing preconfigured, cost-effective versions of their server OS for small business, which allows SMBs to move to server-hosted applications more quickly and easily than in the past. Setup of these applications is wizard driven and can be deployed without a great deal of expertise.

Drobo® provides superior data protection with BeyondRAID™ technology, in a package designed for SMBs to be easy to use. Expanding storage is affordable with the ability to add any drive, and replacing a drive in the event of a failure is as easy as following red/yellow/green traffic signals. Drastically simpler than using internal RAID, thin provisioning is built in, as is the option of dual-drive redundancy for additional protection.
