It’s actually pretty simple. Just solve the following equation:
- I want to run the world’s most popular applications +
- I want to have them deployed and managed easily +
- Reliable, highly available & protected by disk-based backup
- But I have real budget constraints
- And I don’t have a ton of IT resources
= Educational institutions, healthcare, and state and local government
A recent customer survey surfaced these quotes from Drobo + Microsoft customers. Education customers say:
- “With Drobo I’m assured my data is safe with the available data redundancy features. You will like how easy Drobo is to set up and maintain. You can just install it and let Drobo do the rest.”
- “Drobo allowed us to start testing with virtualization without risking a huge investment. It also allowed us to re-deploy it into a backup role after the FC SAN solutions was deployed, reducing our overall costs.”
- “It’s a very simple, very nice solution of implementing iSCSI. Excellent to do a quick fixer upper and excellent for a SMB virtualization environment.”
A healthcare customer: “We’ve consolidated central storage for files and database backups. Drobo has also increased confidence in disaster recovery plans. It’s a great product and we are impressed with the BeyondRAID capabilities.”
An IT manager working in the state and local government sector: “We increased storage capacity at a reduced cost when compared to traditional SAN solutions with Drobo. We have also benefitted from its implementation.”
