This redirect may meet Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion because in its current form it serves only to promote or publicise an entity, person, product, or idea, and would require a fundamental rewrite in order to become encyclopedic. However, the mere fact that a company, organization, or product is a page's subject does not, on its own, qualify that page for deletion under this criterion. This criterion also does not apply where substantial encyclopedic content would remain after removing the promotional material as deletion is not cleanup; in this case please remove the promotional material yourself, or add the {{advert}} tag to alert others to do so. See CSD G11.
If this redirect does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion, or you intend to fix it, please remove this notice, but do not remove this notice from pages that you have created yourself. If you created this page and you disagree with the given reason for deletion, you can click the button below and leave a message explaining why you believe it should not be deleted. You can also visit the talk page to check if you have received a response to your message. Note that this redirect may be deleted at any time if it unquestionably meets the speedy deletion criteria, or if an explanation posted to the talk page is found to be insufficient.
Note to administrators: this redirect has content on its talk page which should be checked before deletion. Administrators: check links, talk, history (last), and logs before deletion.

Background
Data Robotics was founded in May 2005 by Geoff Barrall and Julian Terry with the vision of developing storage systems that were simple enough for everyday use by non-technical users. The company developed a data layout technology called BeyondRAID which at the time of it's development was the first real alternative to RAID, the established storage technology used in all other multi drive storage systems sold in the market . This break with a traditional 20 year established technology used by all other storage vendors (including EMC Corporation, Netapp, Hitachi) makes Data Robotics notable[1] [2].
The company's initial product, the Drobo, was launched in June 2006. The product saw initial acceptance in the creative professional marketplace where inherently non-technical users needed enormous amounts of protected storage, especially photography where key professionals like Scott Kelby were quick to adopt the technology. More recently the company has seen adoption of the technology selling into small businesses and larger corporate customers and the US government.
