Drobo S With USB 3.0 ($1,799 for 10TB)

And easy-to-use remote backup

Data Robotics, Inc. announced a new product and data protection capabilities.

"Today’s announcements will serve to further accelerate what our customers and partners fondly call the ‘Drobo invasion,’" said Tom Buiocchi, chief executive officer, Drobo. "Our quest to provide the best storage experience for small and medium-sized organizations just progressed significantly with today’s new product advancements."

Drobo has unveiled its new Drobo S system to provide USB 3.0 technology. The company is also announcing the immediate availability of Drobo Sync, an easy-to-use remote backup for small and medium-sized businesses, which is available with the company’s new DroboPro FS system. All Drobo systems feature patented BeyondRAID technology, which enables ease-of-use, data safety, affordability, and expandability for organizations who rely on digital storage but who do not have deep storage expertise.

Features and Benefits Delivered by New Drobo S

  • The Drobo S is currently an expandable USB 3.0 product, with support for multiple storage volumes and capacity of up to 32TB and beyond
  • The accelerated performance of the Drobo S is up to 10X faster than existing USB 2.0 solutions
  • The new Drobo S also features enhanced backwards compatibility with USB 2.0 systems (laptops, PCs and servers) to provide further investment protection and ‘future-proofing’

"When USB 3.0 was released, many storage vendors simply added a basic connector to their systems, but that precluded small and medium-sized businesses from taking full advantage of its promise," said Mark Peters, senior analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group. "In contrast, by specifically engineering the Drobo S to incorporate USB 3.0, Data Robotics has been able to optimize performance and ease-of-use, both of which being characteristics that such businesses will appreciate."

Remote Backup
Drobo also announced the availability of Drobo Sync remote backup software, for its new DroboPro FS product family. Drobo Sync can be configured in just minutes with a few mouse clicks, and is included free of charge with all new DroboPro FS models to provide small businesses, resellers, and service providers with a cost-effective alternative to cloud-based solutions for backing up terabytes of data.

Pricing and Availability
The new Drobo S is available at a starting price of $799 with multiple configurations up to $1,799 for a 10TB bundle. Drobo Sync is included for free with the purchase of any new DroboPro FS and is available as a free software upgrade to existing DroboPro FS customers. The DroboPro FS is available at a starting price of $1,999 with multiple configurations up to $3,299 for a 16TB bundle.

Both products are available from select partners worldwide.
