Graphical applications are available for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux for setting up, managing and monitoring Drobo devices (either directly attached or through the network).
Excellent Scalability
Your library of data grows every moment. Now, your storage solution expands in seconds, too. Choose how big you want your Drobo today with any combination of drive capacities, and add more drives in the future when your requirements grow.

Reliable Operation

As long as you have more than a single disk in Drobo, all data on Drobo is safe no matter which hard disk fails. There's no need to worry about anything else.
Keep in mind that no technology in infallible. The Drobo does not protect against fire, theft, lighting, accidental deletion, software error, etc. It is important ensure that you have more than one copy of important data, preferably in a different geographical location. Lucid Information Systems offers a wide range of storage and backup consultation services.
