Data Robotics goes 'SMB'
Posted on Oct 29, 09 01:09 PM PDT

Data Robotics, the company behind Drobo, a cool storage system, has plans to build enterprise storage. To that end, Data Robotics has raised $10M from various investors. If you have not heard of Drobo, it's a multi-hard drive storage system that is mostly self-managed. Users can upgrade easily by inserting a new disk, and drobo will mostly take care of the initialization by itself. Drobo's issue has always been the price, which is a little high ($500), especially when you know you need to buy a Droboshare ($200) accessory to turn it into a network storage device. With consumer demand being so weak, Data Robotics is logically turning to small and medium businesses to find new customers.
