Innovative Storage Solutions Chooses Drobo for Itself

Data Robotics, Inc. announced that Innovative Storage Solutions, Inc., a consulting firm offering a comprehensive portfolio of storage, virtualization, and disaster recovery solutions to small and medium sized businesses, as well as enterprise, healthcare, and government organizations, has deployed Data Robotics’ multihost iSCSI SAN solution, DroboElite, to store and protect its rapidly growing data. Following an easy deployment of the new DroboElite, the company also chose to become a Data Robotics authorized reseller to pass similar benefits to its client base.

"DroboElite is a simple, expandable iSCSI solution with a price point and performance level that fit our needs perfectly," said Eric Shannon, President and CEO of Innovative Storage Solutions. "After evaluating it in our demo lab we found it performed as well as other solutions, at a much lower cost. For small to medium businesses, DroboElite is the ideal solution. It just works."

Charlotte, NC-based Innovative Storage Solutions deployed DroboElite after the previous storage solution the company had been relying upon failed to protect against data loss. DroboElite’s dual-drive redundancy option enables the company to effortlessly protect data from up to two simultaneous drive failures. With instant capacity expansion up to 16 terabytes, DroboElite accommodates the company’s entire virtualized environment.

"Many businesses need data storage solutions that are easy-to-manage, readily expandable, and cost-effective," said Brad Meyer, senior product marketing manager for the business storage line at Data Robotics. "By delivering a reliable, radically simplified storage solution, DroboElite enables businesses like Innovative Storage Solutions to free up IT resources, which saves time and money. Innovative Storage Solutions’ decision to recommend DroboElite to its customers is a testament to the company’s level of confidence in our solution."
