Drobo Data Storage Ensures 30 Years of Celebrity Photographs Remain Accessible and Protected


SANTA CLARA, CA--(Marketwire - May 6, 2010) -  Data Robotics, Inc., the company that is changing the way the world stores and protects digital content, today announced that Bobby Bank, a celebrity photographer that was recently featured on an episode of NBC's Celebrity Apprentice, has deployed Data Robotics Drobo to store and manage 30 years of his photographs of celebrities ranging from Frank Sinatra to The Tribeca Film Festival.

"I've been taking photographs of celebrities since I was a teenager and needed a storage solution that would allow me to access photographs that I took yesterday or 30 years ago," said Bobby Bank, a New York-based celebrity photographer. "I chose the Drobo because of the peace of mind it gives me since I have everything safely together in one place. Drobo allows me to add disk drives to the enclosure when needed providing me with a flexible platform that accommodates my ever-growing collection of celebrity photos. Data Robotics has created the ideal solution for photographers."

With Drobo, Bank has a fast, reliable and manageable solution that enables him to store his scanned negatives and photographs in one location and access them quickly and easily. With the ability to add up to 8 Terabytes in a single enclosure, Bank can continue to expand his storage capacity as needed.

Data Robotics has provided Banks with an easy to use storage solution that protects his files with the award-winning BeyondRAID data protection technology that is built into every product in the Drobo product line. Photographers with growing storage requirements can easily add capacity to their Drobo by simply inserting a new hard drive or by replacing the smallest drive with a larger one. With automatic and instantaneous capacity expansion, Data Robotics ensures that data access is always maintained.
