DROBO disk systems now in STORM Computer's offer

STORM Computers has as a Drobo certified partner become a company that represents this unique drive systems in Croatia. They are designed as for a small and medium enterprises as the primary drive system, as to users of major business environment as a secondary disk system solution for less demanding terabytes of disk space.

Company Data Robotics, abbreviated Drobo (Data ROBOtics) products disk systems, which by its design successfully master the key challenges in data storage. In a single device through the Thin Provisioning, Automatic Tiering and BeyondRAID technology they offer data protection, scalable storage capacity and optimization of application on level services.

Thin Provisioning is a method of reducing the allocation and the actual need for physical disks by virtualization of logical disks. Only parts of logical disks that are actually recorded, are placed on the physical disks

Data-Aware Tiering is automated and intelligent ranking and data migration between logical disks of more expensive and cheaper disk space (SATA and SSD)

BeyondRAID technology successfully combines traditional RAID technology into its best features. Drobo BeyondRAID offers:

• Dual-disk redundancy - improved data protection in case of failure of more than one disk
• Instant expansion - current and automatic extension of useful disk space while insertion of a new or larger disk without interruption
• Smart volumes - prevents that the free disk space permanently tie to any particular server so that the same in the case of data deletion can release and make available to all other servers
• Mixing different disks - useful storage space is optimized and has a much higher percentage of utilization, the only requirement is that the disks are 3.5 inches, while capacity, models and producers can fluctuate
• Self healing - automatically recovers the entire set of disks from the mistakes and always returns to safest possible level of protection available on the free disk space, and the recovery is secure as long as you have free space
• Virtual hot spare – as a protection against failure or data loss usees the space of all physical disks at any time

All this above and many other features of this disk systems ultimately lead to very large savings in the purchase and throughout their lives.

These systems of "high capacity in a small box" offer simplicity of management of this sophisticated solution at affordable prices. The devices are produced in various versions, including DAS, NAS and SAN in which can accommodate four, five, eight or twelve hard disks than connect to a computer or server via USB (2.0, 3.0), FireWire 800, eSATA, Gigabit Ethernet or iSCSI. They are designed primarily to facilitate installation and removal of hard disks without the need for manual data migration, and increase of capacity without interruption.

With proper management, it can be a disk that is never filled and never fails, like the users themselves say: "Never Full - Never Fails."
