Delay in shipment is not tolerated and you might lose you loyal customer for ever. Lets take look at the most common reasons for such delays in order shipment, which is failure to access the operational data in-time. This could be due to virus, hardware failure or unintentional data corruption (over-writings, erasures etc.). So, the IT managers periodically backup the data from their business critical workstations and servers. Therefore, such information disasters wont pose any threat to business activities. The backup data can be restored and used to fuel the day-to-day operations.
Sony has been committed to invent new high-performance backup storage formats, while improving the existing technologies for more than 5 decades. As small & midrange business segment is growing exponentially, we will be looking at the popular tape formats engineered by Sony for this market segment.
Firstly, we will discuss the tape format invented by Sony that is well-renowned across the SMB industry, the AIT (Advanced Intelligent Tape) format. This successful tape format features enhanced 2.6:1 data compression functionality and occupies less space than rival half-inch tape systems. Its five successive AIT generations have provided a suitable tape system for the vast variety of data protection demands. AIT-1 generation offers native 25GB capacity that extends to 400GB in AIT5 tapes. Because of its intelligent backward compatibility and longer archival life, it is the top choice for backing up voluminous sensitive data. AIT format has proved its remarkable cost efficiency and rock solid reliability in midrange server environments, branch offices and busy I.T centers.
The part numbers are mentioned here for your convenience; SDX5-400C (AIT5 tape), SDX4200CWW (AIT4 tape), SDX3-100C (AIT3 tape), SDX2-50C (AIT2 tape) and SDX1-35C (AIT1 tape).
Additionally, LTO (Linear Tape Open) are the best selling tapes in Sonys portfolio. These tapes allow seamless data recording and reading with all other brands of compatible LTO drive generations. So the business enterprises enjoy exceptional compatibility to the widest range of data-rich LTO platforms. Sony LTO ultrium tapes are well-suited for harsh conditions and a reliable option for storing tapes at remote sites. Sony has developed all five LTO generation tapes that achieve up to a magnificent 1.5/3 TB capacity.
LTO ultrium format also provides reliable security that is ideal for the satisfaction of government legislations. WORM (write once, read many) and AES 256 encryption are the two intelligent technologies that provide your sensitive data highest level of security. Both these features are available in the high capacity LTO ultrium 5 and LTO ultrium 4 formats. Cartridge memory also has been embedded in Sonys LTO tapes that improves access speed and file search.
Thats not all, Sony also has developed DDS (Digital Data Storage) tapes that are also widely used by medium-sized & small organizations. DGDAT320 is the latest Sony tape that holds impressive 160/320GB information.
With Sonys comprehensive line up of high quality tapes, the companies can handle the rapidly growing backup requirements.
