Incorporation of a backup storage system in your data center is a quality decision, which helps you to recover from a disastrous situation. Your company’s future growth is dependent on the customer information and valuable organizational data. AIT (advanced intelligent tape) is ideal for data-rich business enterprises that require high-speed, high capacity backup solution with limited on-site data preservation space.

Performance and cost-effectiveness of HP-branded backup products far exceed the industry standards and data administrators’ expectations. IT managers of medium & small businesses prefer HP AIT tape technology. HP 246627-B22 represents a space-efficient AIT-1 drive, which has been engineered for high-speed backup performance in demanding SMBs. The drive features IDE host interface and can be configured internally. This high speed drive has been designed to support the HP’s first generation AIT-1 tape, part number Q1997A.

HP AIT-1 solution is a big hitter in client/server environments, financial organizations, SMBs, high end workstations and public organizations. A tiny HP AIT1 cartridge ...
... can hold 35 GB native data. You can easily carry the backup tape in your shirt pocket.

Dramatically increased storage density and AME (advanced metal evaporated formulation) enables the HP AIT-1 backup tape to preserve voluminous data. So the IT staff can easily store, rotate and manage the small-sized AIT1 tapes within their space-constrained office environment.

HP AIT-1 IDE drive brings convenience, reliability and higher operating efficiency to the IT staff of busy data centers. AIT-1 drive offers a native speed of up to 14.4 GB per hour. It is an excellent choice for HP ProLiant ML330 G3, ProLiant ML330 G2 and ProLiant ML310 servers. HP has introduced a cutting-edge “super head cleaner” mechanism, which extends the head life and provides outstanding reliability under increased workloads. Thanks to the small half-height form factor, you can easily integrate the HP AIT-1 IDE drive.

For greater storage capacity, you can migrate to the HP’s next generation AIT2 or AIT3 tape formats. Uncompressed media capacity of HP’s AIT3 and AIT2 backup tapes is 100GB and 50 GB respectively. Their part numbers are Q1998A, AIT-2 cartridge and Q1999A, AIT-3 cartridge.

A wide range of tapes are being offered by HP for small to medium-sized organizations.

These tape technologies include SDLT, DAT72 (DDS5), LTO3 ultrium, DLT-4, Travan, DAT-320, LTO1, DDS4, DAT160 and LTO2 ultrium. Unmatched backup performance and exceptional media quality of these HP-branded tapes are the major attributes that contribute to their high market share.

In order to further shorten the media access time, a 64 KB MIC (memory in cassette) has been introduced in each HP AIT-1 tape. This unique MIC technology helps the users to locate the files within seconds. In addition, the IT staff can also load/unload the AIT-1 media at the mid-point. The average file location time is 27 seconds, which is 50% faster than its competitors. You can trust HP AIT-1 devices that have been robustly designed to deliver longer media life and robust data security.
