Cost-Effective
Budgets in the Education sector demand technology solutions that have low up-front costs and provide excellent value over time. Drobo is one of the most affordable protected storage solutions available.
  • Low up-front cost: Purchase Drobo without drives or bundled with the amount of storage you need.
  • Bring your own drives: Drobo allows you to mix and match drive capacities, spindle speeds and manufacturers meaning that you can re-use drives in your inventory.
  • Pay as you grow: Drobo is instantly expandable which means you won’t have to over provision your storage needs. As Drobo fills up, simply add a drive or replace your smallest drives and take advantage of the constantly decreasing price of storage per terabyte. Drobo can scale to 16TB* over time without ever needing to migrate your data.
Simple for Students and Teachers Alike
Spend more time with your students and less time on the phone with IT. Drobo was designed from the ground up to be simple enough for anyone to use. Drobo will save you time and money.
 
Safe Solutions for Classrooms and Districts
All data needs to be protected against hard drive failures — it’s only a matter of time. Drobo provides the redundancy you need in the classroom or even the district level. Drobo can be incorporated into your environment in a number of ways. Connect a Drobo to your central server by USB, FireWire, eSATA or iSCSI, depending on model, or to each individual desktop or laptop. Connect a 4-bay Drobo to DroboShare to create an independent small group server on your network for departmental use. Use Drobo for redundant primary storage or backup.

*Using currently available 2TB disk drives. Greater storage capacities available when larger drives become available.
