Security and storage solutions provider Barracuda Networks Inc. announced a joint relationship with Drobo, a developer of data storage products for businesses and professionals, that aims to bring cloud accessibility and storage to Drobo customers. Drobo 5N, designed to enable sharing of storage and accessing of data, will be integrated with Barracuda Copy, allowing users to access shared files from any location and any device.
The integration of both solutions extends the Copy cloud functionality to Drobo users and enables the following key features:
File sharing – Anything users store on the Drobo device and share with Copy can be accessed without the hassle of file attachments. Unlike email attachments with size limitations, Copy allows users to upload and share files of any size, including 1080p videos and photographs.
Remote file access – Drobo users will be able to access designated files and folders in their Copy folder from any location or device.
Unlimited online backup – Users who purchase a Drobo device will have the option of setting up a new Copy account or connecting with an existing Copy account directly from one of the Drobo configuration screens. Copy accounts provide 5GB of storage capacity free of charge, and users can license additional storage capacity directly from Barracuda.
Multiple client support – Drobo users can access information across Windows, Mac OSX and Linux computers and offers mobile device support for Apple iOS (iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad) and Android, with Windows Mobile coming soon.
"Barracuda’s significant growth in the storage market is underpinned by the increasing amounts of critical data our customers back up and share on a daily basis. The cloud storage capabilities introduced by Copy are the next iteration of our growth strategy," said Barracuda Networks General Manager Guy Suter in a statement. "Copy makes it easy to store, protect and share your information, and the Drobo 5N is an excellent platform for extending these innovations and delivering easy, affordable and ubiquitous access for Drobo users."
The Copy application for the Drobo 5N is expected to be available in March 2013 and Drobo customers must register with Barracuda to obtain access to the Copy service.
