Sony Ait-5 Tape Is More Intelligent And Economical Than All Midrange Backup Systems

One thing is common in small to large companies

, the exponential data growth. Long term data retention and security challenges become amplified with complex IT infrastructure, E-business applications, constrained data-center space and higher risk of on-line data hackers, viruses and hardware failures. There is a single simple solution that can make it up for the tampered or lost data, which is backup storage.

Technical breakthrough in small and midrange tape industry came with Sonys highly compact and efficient AIT (Advanced Intelligent Tape) format. AIT5 is the best selling and most reliable system for SMB environment. This tape system is more advantageous than DLT (Digital Linear Tape) and LTO (Linear Tape Open) formats; because the AIT tapes are only 1/3rd the size of these two tape formats. So the organizations can efficiently preserve, manage and carry AIT5 tapes. Moreover, their robustly engineered cartridge shell ensures longer archival life and safe off-site transportation.

Sony-branded SDX5-400C, AIT5 tape features industry-leading storage density and stores enormous 400 GB raw data. Another high-performance feature of this AIT5 solution is the unrivaled 2.6:1 data compression. This intelligent functionality boosts the capacity of tiny cartridge to an impressive 1.04 terabytes. On the hand, rival tape formats double their native media capacity after data compression.

Flexible configurations are offered by Sonys super-fast internal & external AIT 5 drives. The industry leading Ultra 160 SCSI interface enhances compatibility. So the IT managers of SMBs can conveniently backup all of their mission-critical systems with exceptional reliability. Most importantly, this tape system fully supports media tapes of AIT4 and AIT3 generations. You can write/read these tapes, which extends the usability of your existing tape assets. Another benefit is the reduced IT cost, as business enterprises will have to add fewer tapes in their datasets for increased storage needs.

AIT5 tape drives are also fully compatible with:

SDX3-100W and SDX3-100C (AIT3 media tapes)

SDX4200CWW and SDX4200WWW (AIT4 media tapes)

In this way, the AIT customers can confidently overcome the fast growing backup challenges and make best use of their AIT investments. Most of the competing tape systems only feature one-generation complete backward compatibility. The performance and reliability of Sony AIT5 drives are also unmatched. This solution clearly outshines with 400000 hours mean time between failures, which is 150000 hours higher than rival tape storage systems.

Data streaming speed of AIT5 drives also supports the operating systems and commercial applications used by the medium & small companies. With 24Mbps native speed, the entry level to high end workstations can be quickly backed up within a reasonable time frame. Additionally, the impressive 2.6 to 1 data compression will further accelerate the throughput speed of these compact AIT 5 tape drives. AIT5 tape is also available with the intelligent WORM (write once, read many) feature. This media tape has been specifically designed to safeguard the sensitive data files.

Sony AIT 5 solution offers the fastest media load, backup speed and highest level of data security than any other tape format in small & midrange segment.
