subject: Space-constrained Smbs Turn To The Sony-branded Ait2 Turbo System For Backing Up Corporate Data [print this page] Data administrators in todays internet-driven marketplace are expected to deal with stiff data retention legislations, higher customer expectations, constrained IT budgets and robust data security objectives. On the other hand, the data volumes are continuously increasing and you have to store/share this data at a faster rate. Backup storage is essential if you want your business to excel and compete successfully. So the I.T managers are not bothered by the primary hard disk failures and viruses.
Mid-sized and small companies need backup solution that can process data at a faster rate, store more data in smaller footprint, ensure long term reliability and reduce overall operational expenses. Sonys AIT2 turbo tape is the answer to all these requirements. AIT turbo is the extension of industry-proven Advanced Intelligent Tape (AIT) format that offers unrivaled storage efficiency, compactness and security.
AIT-2 turbo solutions compact form factor and multiple drive units enable easy integration. Additionally, Sony has engineered two tape cartridges, TAIT2-80C and TAIT2-80N. An intelligent memory chip has been embedded in TAIT2-80C, AIT2 turbo tape that significantly accelerates data access time and enables fast media loading/ejection. This small tape can hold native data up to 80 GB. AIT turbo drives are also more efficient in terms of data compression. They outperform the rival tape drives with their remarkable 2.6:1 data compression. As a result, AIT 2 turbo tape can efficiently backup voluminous data volume of 208 gigabytes. With this compact tape solution, the business enterprises can save more data in lesser media shelf space.
Sony has engineered super-fast drives that can be conveniently integrated with the demanding mission-critical systems as external and internal units. Space efficiency further enhances with the flexibility of rack mount configuration. Data streaming speed of this tape solution is ideal for small & mid-sized IT centers. It stores a tremendous 43.2GB (raw data) in an hour.
The tape cartridges are carefully engineered with AME (Advanced Metal Evaporated) formulation that has extended its durability to 30,000 tape passes. Thanks to the innovative robust media coating, the upper surface of base film is protected against pollutants and also reduces tape deterioration. The protective Diamond Like Carbon (DLC) coating has helped to deliver longer working life than rival metal oxide tapes. 30-year media life has made AIT2 turbo tape the most reliable medium for long term storage.
Sony has a vast range of tapes for all types of companies from small to large. Some of the Sonys best selling tape formats are SDLT, Travan tape, DLT (Digital Linear Tape) and LTO (Linear Tape Open). Sonys technical excellence and vast range of tapes makes it the perfect brand for your storage needs.
The compact AIT 2 turbo drives are intelligently engineered by Sony to help maximize the investments made by the customers in AIT-2, AIT-1 and AIT-1 turbo systems. All these media tapes allow reliable data storage and read operations. Moreover, the tape drives longer working life of 50000 contact hours and low maintenance cost have attracted the value conscious customers across the globe.
