Sony Introduces Fast Speed Aiti1040s Internal Tape Drive For Ait-5 Tapes

Pressures of strict government regulations, exploding data amounts and time-critical

business applications demand smarter, reliable, faster and economical storage technologies. Information-intensive business enterprises, server environments and modern management information systems call for AIT (advanced intelligent tape) technology. Sony is the founder of AIT tape format. AIT is a smart tape investment, which occupies lesser data-center space.

Sony AITi1040S is an energy-efficient AIT-5 internal tape drive, which delivers higher backup efficiency, faster read/write operations and rock solid reliability. Sony AITi1040S drive can reliably pack 400GB un-compressed information on an AIT-5 backup tape. Customers of SMB industry, government agencies, branch offices, public organizations, desktop workstations and workgroups can count on Sony AIT-5 tape technology.

AIT is the industrys most cost-efficient and high performance tape format that provides a broad range of storage capacitates in a small form factor. AITi1040S, AIT-5 tape drive features a one pass data recording capability, which can write data on the entire AIT-5 tape cartridge in one single pass. This unique capability of AIT-5 tape drive reduces the media wear-and-tear, thus resulting in tape longevity.

AIT-5 tape formats main selling point is its higher data compression ratio. All versions of AIT tape drives offer 2.6:1 data compression. Therefore the compressed capacity of AIT5 cartridge extends to 1040GB. WORM technology is supported by the AIT5 format. For more media flexibility, Sony has designed both WORM and non-WORM AIT5 tapes. Simple rewritable AIT-5 tape is sdx5-400c, and sdx5-400w is an AIT-5 WORM backup tape. WORM functionality provides greater data protection and helps in regulatory compliance.

The other well-renowned manufacturer of AIT tape products is HP. Q1997A, q1998a and q1999a are the part numbers of HP-branded AIT tapes.

In addition to this, you can also count on lto2 ultrium, sdlt-2, hp rdx cartridge, lto-1, dds-4, vxa-2, dlt-iv and Travan tape formats. These backup storage technologies are also widely used in mid-range and small businesses.

Sony AITi1040S internal tape drive is the best choice for high speed backups. Transfer rate of AITi1040S tape drive reaches up to an outstanding 62.4 MB/s (compressed). You will be surprised to know that Sony AITi1040S tape drive is compatible with four versions of AIT. The compatible AIT backup tapes are AIT5, AIT4, AIT-3Ex and AIT-3. Introduction of this remarkable backward read/write functionality has helped to secure your previous investments and increase the ROI.

Sony AITi1040S is a precision-engineered drive that has been designed to write, read and search the data quickly and efficiently. Sony AIT-5 tape technology is extremely reliable and more economical than the rival tape technologies. Lower tape tension, gentle tape motion and precise data tracking enable the Sony AITi1040S tape drive to achieve an unbeatable 400,000 hrs MTBF (mean time between failures).

Sony SDX5-CL cleaning cartridge has been specifically developed for AIT5 drives. Sony AIT-5 tape drives require less cleanings, because the robust tape medium of AIT5 tape cartridge sheds significantly less debris as compared to the rival tape cartridges. Sony has applied a strong DLC (diamond like carbon) coating over the magnetic surface, which helps in smooth tape movement and sharply reduces the media deterioration. Archival life of robustly designed AIT5 tapes is 30 years.
