AIT advanced intelligent tape is a high performance storage format with high speed, durability and high capacity. It was developed by Sony. It is built tough to compete against DLT, LTO, DAT/DDS, and VXA formats. AIT uses a storage cassette which is similar to video 8. AIT-4 tape provides a long term upgrade path with backward media compatibility, thus providing a stable backup platform. The AIT tape drives can read and write to multiple generations of AIT tape media.

AIT-4 tape technology ?? perfectly suited to SMBs, financial institutions, data-rich organizations and enterprise workgroups. Th? bar on performance and cost-efficiency has been significantly raised by the Sony AIT4 tape solution. Sony SDX4-200C, AIT-4 tape features an outstanding native recording capacity of 200 GB. Its physical size ?? much smaller than ?th?r rival backup tapes of similar capacity. Sony AIT-4 media cartridge is almost 67% smaller than the competing half-inch backup tapes. Therefore, more number of backup tapes can be stored within ???r limited shelf space. Th? human interventions are eventually reduced by fewer tapes, and hence will require ...
... less tape handlings.

The high-speed internal & external Sony -4 tape drives provide the durability, fast media access and reliable restores demanded by the modern time-critical applications, no matter how complex or space-constrained your IT environment is. Part number of internal drive is SDX-900V and SDX-D900V/NB represents AIT4 external drive. Their fast throughput rate of 86.4GB/hour reduces of backup time. Sony AIT-4 tape drive's compact 3.5-inch form factor enables the users to stack more tape drives within a smaller footprint.

The AIT-3 tape customers looking for higher recording capacity and investment protection will certainly find AIT-4 generation a compelling tape solution that will help them extend their investment. Exceptional capability to record as well as restore data from AIT3 media tapes with exceptional reliability is one of the most compelling features of AIT-4 tape drives.

WORM functionality that prevents the stored data from being inadvertently deleted or modified is also offered by the AIT-4 format. Native speed of Sony AIT-4 tape drives h?? b??n enhanced to 24 Mbps. Internal and table-top drive models enable the users to seamlessly integrate th? AIT 4 drives into th??r existing backup environments and ?l?? connect to a variety of computing systems.

Greater data compressing capability (2.6:1) provides exceptional storage value. The recording capacity of AIT-4 backup tape significantly extends to 520 GB with compressed data. Cleaning cartridge developed by Sony for AIT 4 drives is SDX4CLLWW. The regular use of cleaning cartridge is a prudent approach, because dust and debris accumulation can degrade the backup performance.

With Sony AIT4 technology, the challenge of storing and archiving voluminous amounts of business-critical data at a reasonable cost can be met by the IT managers.
