Drobo Refreshes B1200i Enterprise Intelligent Storage Device, Taps SSD + HDD Combo
The ability of the B1200i SSD to automatically utilize a small number of SSDs alongside hard disk drives (HDDs) allows customers to enjoy the best of both storage worlds – the capacity of hard drives and the performance of SSD technology. Furthermore, the Drobo B1200i SSD has attained VMware Ready status with vSphere 5.0 certification, and cloud backup with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and others is also supported.
Naturally, this applies mostly to enterprise users, but it's usually not long before these high-end features trickle down to Drobo's consumer-friendly offerings.
