Data Storage For The Rest Of Us

Behind the DVX is the Shuttle hardware and the Drobo™. The shuttle series of computer, from Shuttle Inc., is the world’s leading designer and manufacturer of small form factor (SFF) computers and accessories The Shuttle offers high-end lineup of classic XPC cubes, ideal for backup services for home and business. The Shuttle has received more than 50 patents worldwide that attribute to its innovations in chassis design, heat dispersion, and more. Key to VHC’s endorcement of this excellent line of computers is the Shuttle’s leading edge heat dispersion technology, contributing to reliability and dependability. The Drobo is a four-drive storage array that manages itself by protecting against two simultaneous drive failures. Capacity easily expands by adding/replacing SATA II drives at any density all at once. Drobo’s BeyondRAID technology allows the mixing different sized drives without sacrificing capacity and maximizing cost effectiveness and valuable time. The DVX Series connects to the built in Shuttle server via FireWire800/USB. It supports up to 16TB. Users have a choice of operating systems, Linux, Windows XP, Vista and the New Windows 7 and Macintosh Mini (Mac OS X 10.5).

BeyondRAID™ Technology

Every Drobo product comes with the revolutionary BeyondRAID storage technology — the next generation of redundant disk protection. BeyondRAID will not only keep your data safe, but also will increase uptime and availability. BeyondRAID technology offers several Vinehall Computing, Inc. • 919-395-8000 • Apex, NC • Twitter: twitter.com\1vhc • Web: 1vhc.net improvements over traditional RAID-based storage systems, including the flexibility to replace failed disks, increase capacity and with a single click switch between single and dual disk redundancy all without costly downtime. Key features of BeyondRAID include: Data protection against two simultaneous hard disk failures Instant capacity expansion without downtime with ease:

Self-management - Automatic healing

Self-Healing and Redundantly Safe

When Drobo™ detects a “bad” hard disk, it pro-actively advises you with a series of warnings ranging from a blinking red LED on its front panel, to pop-up alerts in Drobo Dashboard, to email alerts. What Drobo does next is exceptional. Entering a self-healing mode where it repairs around the bad sector or disk, Drobo will work until it returns to the safest state possible. If Drobo has sufficient time and free capacity (indicated by all lights returning to a solid green state), it can even withstand additional hard disk failures — that’s the power of self-healing. Utilizing dual disk redundancy, Drobo’s BeyondRAID technology can ensure your data is safe even if up to two disks fail simultaneously—all without a moment of downtime. You can even switch between single and dual disk redundancy with a click. You’ll feel safer knowing that if disks do fail, Drobo automatically enters a state of self-healing wherein it relays out your data across the remaining healthy disks and sectors.

Self-Managing

Drobo is storage that manages itself. There are no complex configuration screens, DIP switches, confounding choices, web consoles or other complications that prevent so many other storage devices from working out of the box.

Drive Reordering

One long-standing requirement inherent in traditional RAID-based systems was that if for some reason you needed to remove the drives, you’d have to replace the drives in the exact same order. When you remove your disks from Drobo, you can put them back in any order you like.

File System and Operating System Agnostic

Drobo and its underlying BeyondRAID technology currently support the Windows, Mac and Linux¹ platforms, with file system support for NTFS, HFS Plus, EXT3 and FAT32. Since Drobo is a block level system, it easily adapts to almost any environment.
