The DroboPro FS 8-Bay Array Enclosure from Data Robotics takes the Drobo approach to data storage and applies it to network file sharing. The powerful device connects to your network via dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, allowing any computer on the network to access media and other files stored on it.
The DroboPro FS supports many DroboApps, including the Drobo Sync utility. Drobo Sync allows you to create offsite backups of your data, perfect for use in business environments. It replicates the data from a local DroboPro FS unit to an offsite DroboPro FS, and can be configured to run on a schedule or on demand. Drobo Sync is managed through the Drobo Dashboard utility.
The enclosure supports up to 8 standard 3.5" SATA hard drives. You can configure the storage capacity of the Drobo to suit your needs; you'll even be able to mix and match drive capacities without sacrificing data protection. The array ships in a desktop configuration; an optional 3U rackmount kit is available.
