Not far from the Drobo booth was the Iomega booth.
In a vacuum, one could look at the StorCenter product as a competitor to the Drobo.
However, once the fog lifts, you would see that the Iomega product is primarily a consumer product.
That said, the prospect of a low-end home/SOHO NAS device utilizing EMC software is intriguing. And I would like to try it.
