Squeeze More Data With Sony Ait-5 Backup Media Tape
The data retention laws and government regulations are enforcing the companies to
preserve their business documents and information over a defined time period. The companies also have to ensure that the integrity of their stored information is maintained throughout their storage life.
Economical and smart solution for your burgeoning data protection requirements is the AIT (advanced intelligent tape) media. This powerful technology has been invented by Sony. AIT tape solution has a solid history of satisfying the storage needs of branch offices, departmental servers, small & midrange businesses, and government agencies at lowest cost per GB.
Sony AIT-5 tape solution is more space efficient and is ideal for todays automated environments, busy data centers and space-constrained enterprises.
AIT-5 tape cartridge is almost 66% percent smaller than the rival backup tapes. Even with such small physical size, the Sony AIT-5 can hold massive volume of data which reaches 400GB (uncompressed). Sony has made this possible by increasing the bit density of tape media, and the recording density of the AIT-5 tape drives. Track density of AIT-5 tape media is approx. 5.8 times greater than the competing storage tapes. AIT-5 tape cartridges are more compact and robust.
Combination of Sonys innovative drive technology and superior AME media formulation have resulted in an industry leading recording density and exceptional reliability in a small form factor. Higher compression of 2.6:1 makes AIT tape format more superior and advantageous. In compressed form, the data storage capacity of AIT 5 cartridge boosts to 1.04 TB or 1040 GB.
Data integrity is obviously the top most priority of every business organization. That is why Sony has employed the WORM capability in AIT5 tape generation.
Alterations and deletion of data files is not allowed once it has been written onto a WORM enabled AIT-5 data tape. WORM is the best solution for common operator errors and malicious data access. Part numbers of Sony-branded AIT-5 cartridges are SDX5-400C (non-WORM cartridge) and SDX5-400W (WORM enabled cartridge).
