"When you ask most people what they would rescue in the event of a fire, after loved ones, most if not all will answer their photos. This instinct to rescue recorded memories says a great deal about the role photography plays in our lives. Today, photographs allow us to share and to communicate as we never have before, on a truly global basis," said Mihir Shah, CEO of StorCentric. "Drobo has long recognized the immeasurable value of digital assets and other creative media, and has engineered the industry's most robust, flexible and affordable storage solutions to meet the unique requirements of consumers and businesses."
